Prehospital Minutes Count During a Stroke.
May 10, 2024 updated by: Nordlandssykehuset HF
Prehospital Minutes Count During a Stroke. Factors Associated With Prehospital Delays With Data From Various Regions in Norway and One Region in Switzerland
The ultimate objective is to improve the efficacy of prehospital procedures for patients suffering an acute stroke.
Increased precision in prehospital selection and a more efficient transport chain will lead to an even more rapid start of treatment and thus benefit patients.
The research project has two parts: one part collecting data from medical reports and one study with qualitative in-depth interviews.
The project will gather data from various parts of Norway and from a University hospital in Switzerland for comparison between regions and countries.
Data will be retrieved through intrahospital and prehospital medical records from various parts of Norway (Nordland Hospital, Akershus University Hospital and Helgeland Hospital) and from Basel University hospital in Switzerland.
Knowledge of factors associated with delays will be compared for regions in the north and south of Norway, as well as abroad.
The information obtained will be analysed to identify components in the chain that may be improved as concerns time saving.
