Abstract:
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and disability
worldwide. In Ireland about 10,000 people will suffer a stroke
in a year and the annual cost of stroke care exceeds €1 billion.
750 stroke victims and €13 million could be saved annually
with greater availability of thrombolysis and access to stroke
units.
The aim of our study was to assess the impact of our stroke
service and protocols in the Emergency Department (ED)
management of stroke in AMNCH.
