A novel 'drip and ship' program that significantly increased thrombectomy access in stroke patients at rural hospitals in Australia can be easily applied to other countries.
Access to thrombectomy for stroke patients living in rural areas can be improved by introducing specific imaging software and a training package to remote hospitals and improving connections to the regional comprehensive stroke center, a new study showed.
The rural hospital staffs were supplied with and trained to use multimodal brain imaging to optimize workflow and pathways, improve diagnosis, and aid earlier detection of candidates for thrombectomy. The number of patients who presented to the clusters with ischemic stroke and stroke of undetermined etiology was 918 in the pre-intervention period and 1928 in the intervention/postintervention period.
The program equips hospitals with a"drip and ship" approach, where patients receive thrombolysis at a rural hospital and are then transferred to a thrombectomy center.
