Acute Stroke Care Pathway



ACUTE STROKE

INTEGRATED CARE PATHWAY

Procedure for the admission of patients to the Acute Stroke Service

1. All patients with acute stroke not requiring ITU/HDU/tertiary referral should be transferred to the Acute Stroke Unit (ASU) as soon as possible following admission to ED.

2. Please immediately inform the Nurse in Charge of the ASU (St Enda’s 4435/4445) of any patient being admitted with stroke.

3. If no bed is immediately available the patient will be listed for the next available ASU bed.

4. All patients with stroke will be initially admitted under the on-call General Physician. On the next working morning (ie non weekend/public holiday) any patient with stroke should be handed over directly to the designated Stroke Consultant accepting referrals for that day. The Nurse in Charge of the Acute Stroke Unit will have the name of this Consultant.

5. The responsibility for care of the patient remains with admitting team until formally accepted by the Stroke Consultant.

6. Urgent advice on the care of a patient with Stroke can be obtained on a 24/7 basis by contacting the Stroke Consultant on call for Thrombolysis (via switch) on that day.

NB: It is the responsibility of the admitting team to formally hand over the patient’s care to the designated Stroke Consultant on the next ordinary working day. The name of this Consultant will be available from the Nurse in Charge of the ASU.

Advice Available From: Acute Stroke Unit Nurse-in-Charge (St Enda’s 4435/4445), Medical SpR (via switch), Stroke Consultant (via switch).

This document must be filed in the main body of the patient’s case notes in chronological order on or before discharge.

|IMMEDIATE MANAGEMENT |

|Commence 4 hourly observations (GCS / Temp / BP / HR / RR / Sats / BMs) |

| |

|O2 sats < 95%: Maintain saturations >95% with O2 |

| |

|BM > 11 Commence SC insulin sliding scale (as per glucose Monitoring & Insulin Rx chart) |

| |

|BM < 4 Correct immediately and monitor blood sugars regularly as per hospital guidelines |

| |

|Temp > 37.5 Regular Paracetamol PO / PR and look for cause (blood/urine cultures/CXR) |

| |

|Elevated BP Do NOT acutely lower BP unless discussed with Medical |

|(> 210mmHg) SpR/Stroke Consultant |

| |

|Low BP Seek immediate senior medical advice and look for cause |

|(< 90mmHg) |

| |

|Falling GCS Seek immediate senior medical opinion if GCS falls > than 2 points. |

| |

| |

| |

| |

|INDICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE CT BRAIN |

| |

|Contact Radiology SpR on-call (Consultant to Consultant after midnight): |

| |

|Thrombolysis candidate (Consultant referral only after MIDNIGHT) |

|On anticoagulant treatment with focal neurological symptoms/signs or needs early anticoagulation |

|Known bleeding tendency |

|Depressed conscious level (GCS 3.5 mM & no haemorrhage on CT brain |

| |

|- Use Pravastatin if patient already stabilised on Warfarin, as Warfarin interacts with Simvastatin |

| |

|3. For patients considered to be at increased risk of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) (dependent, prior |

|history of VTE), consider VTE prophylaxis with low-dose unfractionated or low molecular weight |

|heparin unless benefit is outweighed by the risk (eg: large infarct on CT brain or evidence of intracerebral |

|haemorrhage) or other contraindications. We do not recommend Graduated Compression Stockings. |

| |

|4. Insert IV cannula and commence IV fluids (saline) if clinically indicated |
