Article Synopsis
- This study focused on how emergency departments manage hyperacute treatments for patients with non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, revealing significant gaps in knowledge.
- A total of 332 ICH patients were analyzed, showing varied modes of referral and treatment delays, with only 44% of those with high blood pressure achieving control during their stay.
- The results indicate that patients referred through stroke codes had lower mortality rates, emphasizing the importance of prompt and appropriate care in improving outcomes.
