Abstract
Nurses identify in-hospital ischemic events with a similar percentage as physicians, and they activate the stroke alerts significantly earlier. The median nursing activation time fell within a 3-hour window for potential systemic thrombolytic or early endovascular therapy. An intensive, focused, collaborative education of nursing staff may further improve inpatient stroke outcomes.
