Hospital Protocol for Emergency Stroke Evaluation and Transfer (HI-SPEED)
This study is testing a new set of procedures called the HI-SPEED Protocol to help hospitals quickly evaluate stroke patients and transfer them to specialized centers if needed. Many stroke patients first go to a local hospital, but some require more advanced care at a different hospital. The HI-SPEED Protocol aims to speed up the "Door-In-Door-Out" (DIDO) time, which is how long it takes for a patient to be evaluated and transferred from the first hospital. This could help more patients get advanced treatments in time. The study is looking at how well this protocol works in reducing DIDO time for patients with acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot) or hemorrhagic stroke (a stroke caused by bleeding). It plans to include 900 participants aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with these types of stroke. The current recruitment status is unclear.
