While overall adherence rates were low, the gold standard FeSS protocols can be successfully implemented into hospitals without stroke units. Evidence shows FeSS protocols improve outcomes. #stroke2023 simeon dale (she/her) Sandy Middleton

Congrats on a typically generous warm and inspiring Excellence in Stroke oration Julie Bernhardt @STROKE2023

The Melb Mobile Stroke Unit has begun a telemedicine trial. The neurologist is randomized to on-board or telemed. Hannah Johns describes the trial protocol & DOOR outcome measures to ensure safety & time outcome measures. #stroke2023 Anna Balabanski Vignan Yogendrakumar

Australian Stroke Alliance Thanks Geoff Steve and ASA colleagues. Evacuate pilot study now published online in JNIS. Grateful for the support of many in studying this new approach, now being tested followed by the RCT. jnis.bmj.com/content/early/…

Often the “poor cousin”, #ICH #stroke has severe mortality & mortality outcomes, even at very small volumes. New surgical trials, prehospital identification of ICH, anticoagulation reversal, BP management should be initiated early to prevent hematoma expansion Timothy Kleinig

Golden Hour (1st hour after #stroke onset) #thrombolysis improves outcomes.
Dr Henry Zhao - every 30min delay in #tpa results in poorer outcomes.
Mobile Stroke Units significantly increase #goldenhour treatment & therefore outcomes #stroke 2023 The Royal Melbourne Hospital Ambulance Victoria Stroke Foundation

Prof Bruce Campbell: Independent outcomes are still possible in cores >100ml.
Using age, time to treatment, correlation between both CTB & CTP (core location, size, extent) can be successfully used to aid treatment decisions in patients with large core ischaemic strokes.

What a great opening to this years #stroke2023 conference with Matt Reeves showing improvements in stroke care as a result of the Get with the Guidelines #GWTG program

The technologies & treatments we’re developing to fast-track critical prehospital #stroke care are saving & changing lives. Stories like Jim Khamphouy’s amplify the “time is brain” message, making community awareness of stroke & its symptoms a necessity. theage.com.au/national/at-40…

The #AuStrokeAlliance is committed to engaging & consulting Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples on matters that directly impact their communities. Only by listening to their voices & experiences can we make sustainable change. #VoiceToParliament austrokealliance.org.au/voice-to-parli…

By partnering with Royal Flying Doctor Service, we benefit greatly from their understanding of the challenges in rural and remote communities. Mardi Steere 🌏 is an invaluable member of the #AuStrokeAlliance team, as we power up our outreach across #Australia . #healthcare
