"General Considerations for EVT" Flow Chart:
Overall, for all vessel occlusions amenable for EVT, a discussion with INR is recommended. "General Considerations for EVT" follows a colour coding:
RAPID Training (www.irapid.com/training-rapid)
DEFUSE3 criteria
DAWN criteria (core measured CBF<30)
Lastly a word of caution. ALWAYS ensure you look at NCCT to assess hypo-density and correlate this with CBF core recalling that you may have a sub-acute infarct with luxury perfusion (therefore CBF>30 i.e. not showing as core on threshold to CBF map).
High observation for specific post-TPA patients meeting below criteria
After a code stroke resuscitation, the patient needs a monitored bed for neurologic monitoring.
On the B4 Stroke Unit, there will ultimately be several types of beds.
