Hyper Acute Phase

In the hyperacute phase the focus should be on recanalisation. Every second that the patient’s brain is starved of nutrients and oxygen, the risk of disability and mortality is increased. Any activity that does not relate to recanalisation should not delay treatment in this phase. The same time pressure applies to haemorrhagic strokes.
 
There are 4 keys that have been shown to reduce the time to recanalisation, these include: pre-notification, taking the patient directly to the CT, treat the patient at the CT, and make use of point of care testing. The tools in this section are aimed at assisting you to achieve this in your hospital.

Course objective:
The objective of this eLearning course is to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively manage the hyperacute phase of stroke, ensuring timely recanalization and improving patient outcomes.

Course structure:
The eLearning starts with a Strokology Heroes video, a short motivational video in English that highlights the importance of your work in the hyperacute phase. It continues with an interactive content presentation where you learn how to implement the four priority actions to reduce treatment delays.

Course duration: 
The eLearning course is designed to be completed in approximately 2 hours.

Course certificate:
To receive a certificate, you will need to complete all activities and engage fully with all interactive elements.
