Code Stroke
- Activate for all focal neuro deficits with onset <8 hours
- Pager 501-0771
- Order:
- Accucheck, non-contrast CT brain
if no contraindication to contrast, CTA brain and neck with CTP brain
- CBC, Chem 14, Troponin, INR, CXR, ECG
- Re-page if neuro resident not present in 15 minutes; stroke attending on amion
- neuro resident to assist with tPA if patient is a candidate; should consent acceptance or declination of tPA
- Interventional neuro for IA tPA or thrombectomy (501-5423)
- Neuroradiology for reads: x2808 (days); 501-5814 (nights)
- Code Stroke Neurology Spectralink 23369
- Code Stroke Pager -0921
- Timeline Goals
- 10 minutes from arrival: ED MD evaluation
- 15 minutes from arrival: Neurology evaluation
- 20 minutes from arrival: CT head noncontrast obtained
- 45 minutes from arrival: CT head read by radiologist
- 60 minutes from arrival: TPA given for appropriate candidates
- 20 minutes from Neuro IR discussion: If have IR capacity at Harbor

- CODE STROKE Procedure
- INCLUSION: age 18 years or older, new focal neurological deficit for <24 hours
- Rooming:
- From Triage: BBN and call charge RN to place in AED room immediately
- By Ambulance: room immediately
- **If no room available: RN to start IVs, obtain POC and labs; Initial ED MD evaluation then proceed directly to CT
- EVALUATION:
- Initial ED MD evaluation within 10 minutes
- Stabilize ABCs
- Last known well time (LKWT), patient’s age, and deficit (consider deferring complete NIHSS until after activated)
- ACTIVATE CODE STROKE: notify ED clerk to page with information above: “code stroke, name/MRN if available, location, age, M/F, deficits/NIHSS, LKWT”
- p0921: Batch page to Neurology (chief and attending, resident on call), lab, CT tech, radiology/IR, ED pharmacist, patient flow coordinator

- Further history as needed (including TPA contraindications https://www.wikem.org/wiki/Thrombolysis_in_Acute_Ischemic_Stroke_(tPA), await CT results
- CT Head result – Radiology calls Neurology Spectralink 23369 with read (back up ED clerk transferred to resident Spectralink)
- Intracranial hemorrhage
- Neurosurgery consult, if subarachnoid hemorrhage consider IR intervention; admit neurosurgery ICU
- No intracranial hemorrhage

- TPA Candidate (no ICH, symptoms <4.5 hours). Use “ED Ischemic Stroke/TIA” order set
- Manage BP to goal SBP <180, DBP <105
- IV labetalol, Nicardipine drip (in order set); if still uncontrolled, no TPA
- If not IR candidate as below and no contraindications to TPA Neurology consents patient, discuss with neurology ED team; Neurology orders TPA (alteplase), ED as backup if Neurology unable
- TPA protocol per neurology/ED pharmacist (in order set): 0.9 mg/kg IV (max 90mg) total with 10% as bolus and remainder over 60 min

- IR Thrombectomy candidate (<6 hours with LVO on CTA, up to 24 hours in some cases – DAWN trial); Neurology will activate stroke IR batch page
- Yes IR Capacity --> obtain CT cerebral perfusion --> IR thrombectomy; admit to neurology ICU
- No IR Capacity --> give TPA if candidate as above; Neurology coordinates transfer to Comprehensive Stroke Center (Long Beach 562-480-3487 or Little Co of Mary, Torrance 310-4-STROKE. Do not use MAC, the accepting comprehensive stroke center arranged their own transport)
