We are amidst a paradigm shift in the emergency management of acute ischemic stroke. The traditional way of categorizing ischemic strokes as 'minor' vs 'major' is no longer relevant to what we do in the ED. It's now about 'disabling' vs 'non-disabling' strokes. And this is no small change. This categorization dictates urgency of ED work-up and treatments, imaging choices, treatment decisions and goals of care. In this Part 1 or our 2-part main episodes EM Cases podcast series on management of ischemic stroke with Dr. Walter Himmel and Dr. Katie Lin, we answer questions like: How can we best rapidly determine if an ischemic stroke is disabling or non-disabling at the bedside? In what ways are 'wake up strokes' managed uniquely and what's the latest thinking on their pathophysiology? How should we best prioritize imaging depending on timing, geography and resources? How do we best predict large vessel occlusion amenable to endovascular therapy (EVT) at the bedside? How can we efficiently establish goals of care at the bedside to inform our emergency decision making around strokes? Which is better for thrombolysis in ischemic stroke - Tenecteplase or Alteplase? How have contraindications to IV thrombolysis changed over the last decade? When should we consider bridge therapy with EVT after IV thrombolysis? What are 4 key items the ED physician should have ready for the stroke neurologist on the first call? and many more...
