3051 Case report: simultaneous bilateral central retinal artery occlusion in a patient with atrial fibrillation on dabigatran
Implementation of the ASAP tool resulted in a reduction in both door to CT and door to thrombolysis time compared to the pre-implementation period.The median door to CT time decreased from 81 minutes (pre-implementation) to 35 minutes (post-implementation), while the median door to thrombolysis time decreased from 116 minutes to 86 minutes, respectively.Conclusion The introduction of the ASAP tool led to notable improvements in door to CT and thrombolysis time for acute stroke patients.These findings underscore the importance of implementing structured assessment tools to expedite the evaluation and treatment of stroke patients in the emergency setting.Further research and implementation strategies may be warranted to optimize the process further.
