“Stroke, the world’s third most common cause of death and disability, neglected for so long, remains a treatable and preventable catastrophe. Organized stroke care improves outcomes, but remains the exception nearly everywhere.”
Recent quote from Dr. V. Hachinski and Dr. J. Norris who created the first Canadian Stroke Unit in Toronto in 1975.
“How to Handle Hot Stroke or Hot TIA?”The only way is to have organized/systematic stroke careWhat is happening in BC and elsewhereWhat is IHA doing to achieve this

2. A similar analysis of 26,000 stroke admissions in Canada found the same pattern:
Stroke Mortality in Canadian Hospitals can vary dramatically, even when hospital size and other factors are matched:

• You need to know what type of stroke care site you are:1. tPA capable (Regional Stroke Centre or Primary
Stroke Centre)2. tPA potential (has a CT scanner but site not
organized yet to deliver tPA)3. Transfer to tPA capable site4. Rural and Remote sites (too far away from tPA
enabled sites)

Put the Stroke/TIA Emergency Diagnostics Order Set on the patients chart if you suspect a stroke.

Strategic investment in Telestroke will act to:
• Equalize patient access to life-changing effects of TPA• Build stroke management capacity province-wide• Make more effective use of scarce health human resources• Reduce transfers between EDs and tertiary facilities• Enable stroke rehabilitation/recovery closer to home• Increase access of rural and remote clients to acute stroke
interventions.

Treating TIA Urgently to Prevent Stroke
Modeling suggests Rapid Assessment and Treatment of TIA and Minor Stroke will have a bigger impact on overall Stroke Morbidity and Mortality than:◦ tPA ◦ Stroke Units
Projected Annual TIA Incidence
Five Priority Areas established in 2006/71. Standard Stroke Orders Sets in all BC Emergency
Departments2. TIA/Minor Stroke Rapid Assessment Programs for
all Health Authorities3. Telestroke4. Rehabilitation and Community Integration5. Monitoring and Evaluation
Late 2008 the Ministry of Health decided tPA should be made a priority again
Same mechanismMRI studies reveal small Strokes in many “TIA patients”TIA and Minor Stroke patients are at high risk for subsequent Strokes:◦ 5% in 2 days◦ 10% in 90 days
Need urgent investigation and treatment

Effect of Early Comprehensive Treatment on Risk of Stroke
Risk of recurrent stroke after first seeking medical attention in all patients with TIA or stroke who were referred to the study clinic.

50% were treated by 20 days
Rapid Assessment Clinics for TIA and Minor Stroke
Currently operating in Kamloops and CranbrookReferral form faxed from any ER, GP office, or Clinic in Thompson Cariboo Shuswap Region or East Kootenay RegionAim to see all patients within 24-72hoursOnly for ambulatory outpatients
Rapid Assessment Clinic continued
Clinic Patients will get:◦ Consultation with a Neurologist/Internist◦ Immediate access to investigations◦ Education and Treatment
This Model Could Work for all of Interior HealthEach Health Service Area could set up a
similar clinic at a Regional Hospital◦ East Kootenay: Cranbrook◦ West Kootenay: Trail◦ Okanagan: Kelowna and Penticton◦ TCS: KamloopsPhysicians with an interest in Stroke could staff these clinics, most likely as part of other On-Call or ER or Hospital Clinic duties Jaymi Chernoff, IH TIA Rapid Access Lead
