5.71 -> Did you know, stroke is the number one cause of disability in the world?
9.96 -> Today, 40% of stroke patients arrive too late for treatment
14.01 -> and that’s due to delays in patient care.
16.73 -> Valuable time gets lost – often due to slowdowns in communication
21.13 -> or inefficient handoffs – or even a lack of information.
24.8 -> Let’s not forget; time is brain. Seconds count.
28.41 -> You lose 2 million neurons or brain cells – every minute a stroke is in progress.
33.45 -> But together we can make a difference in stroke care.
36.99 -> We’re connecting all the steps in stroke care together
40.35 -> to help doctors save time – save neurons – and ultimately save lives.
46.39 -> We’re using technology to get the right patient data more rapidly – to the right people.
51.16 -> And bridging the gaps that slow doctors down.
54.5 -> It’s all about smartly connecting these dots across the entire patient journey
58.65 -> from the home to the ambulance.
60.86 -> From the emergency room to the procedure room. And back to recovery.
65.2 -> Connecting each step – because that’s what will improve stroke care.
69.57 -> So, let me show you an example. Meet Caroline.
73.04 -> She’s at home with her husband when he notices her words are coming out slurred when she speaks,
77.92 -> and he sees that her face is drooping.
80.66 -> He’s concerned so he calls an ambulance.
84.08 -> The first responder arrives. He suspects a stroke.
87.97 -> But it could be a number of other things.
90.29 -> Fortunately, he has access to technology that directly connects him to the hospital
94.73 -> and instantly to a stroke expert, who can review the initial monitoring information
99.54 -> and is able to confirm that Caroline is having some sort of acute cerebral event
103.54 -> – possibly an ischemic stroke.
106.27 -> The first responder quickly alerts the nearest primary stroke center
109.69 -> and the ambulance rushes Caroline to the emergency department.
113.51 -> The doctor in the Emergency Department assesses Caroline
116.39 -> and immediately activates the stroke protocol.
118.77 -> This keeps everyone on the same page.
122.03 -> And simultaneously, the nurse brings Caroline right to radiology
125.69 -> where a non-contrast CT scan is done to rule out bleeding or hemorrhage in the brain.
130.96 -> Also, a contrast enhanced CT is performed,
133.62 -> and using smart technology the brain images are promptly analyzed.
138.13 -> Highlighting Caroline’s large vessel occlusion – and precisely mapping the clot’s location.
143.49 -> Instantly, these CT images are made available for the entire stroke team using the Cloud.
148.7 -> Now the clock is ticking but the team doesn’t need to wait
151.36 -> for the neurologist to come to the hospital.
153.91 -> Virtually the neurologist can review Caroline’s history and Caroline’s exam,
158.74 -> reviews her CT images – and quickly makes the decision to initiate treatment
162.53 -> because she is eligible for mechanical thrombectomy.
166.45 -> A cloud-based solution is used to rapidly communicate
169.36 -> and coordinate the plan to Caroline’s entire stroke team.
173.67 -> And so, Caroline is transferred to a comprehensive stroke center
176.91 -> – where specialists and equipment are available 24/7 to remove that clot.
182.1 -> While Caroline is en route, the interventional team is preparing for the procedure.
185.74 -> And they do it using the hospital’s standardized stroke protocol.
190.16 -> Caroline arrives and she is prepared for the thrombectomy.
192.97 -> It’s remarkable how effective this procedure can be when treating an ischemic stroke.
197.45 -> And Caroline is in very good hands as a nurse tries to comfort her.
201.64 -> During the procedure, sophisticated 3D imaging is used
205.37 -> giving even more insight into Caroline’s vascular anatomy.
208.6 -> Insight into her brain tissue.
210.89 -> And doctors can use this information to help them rapidly perform thrombectomy
215.1 -> – remove that clot – restoring flow to the occluded artery
218.42 -> – and getting life-saving oxygen to the brain cells.
221.44 -> And after the procedure, Caroline’s results can be reviewed
224.17 -> by different specialists across her entire care-team.
227.51 -> She is closely monitored at home, including for any signs of cardiac arrhythmia
231.46 -> – a common risk factor for stroke.
234.6 -> And this really helps optimize her follow-ups and her recovery.
238.72 -> Helping patients like Caroline – get back to living the lives – they love.
243.7 -> So you can see – by breaking down the barriers.
246.51 -> From home to hospital. Emergency room to treatment room. And back to recovery.
252.07 -> By connecting stroke care, that’s how we aim to improve outcomes.
