27 A Swell Simulation: debrief from a stroke simulation on angioedema

Season 3 · Episode 4

Saturday, June 10, 2023 • Duration 34:27

Welcome to StrokeFM Episode 27: In this exciting episode, we're taking you behind the scenes of our simulation session, where we grappled with angioedema in a code stroke. Explore with us as we delve into the intricacies of diagnosing and managing this life-threatening condition, learn from our successes and challenges, and gain insights from our team of expert cohosts. Whether you're a seasoned medical professional or starting your journey in health, you will want to experience this engaging journey into the heart of medical simulation training. This is a part of our ongoing efforts in a joint collaborative effort between Stroke and Emergency medicine. With that said, there is no duty of care. This is purely an educational podcast.

In this exciting episode, join our expert panel @MirandaLambRN, @LowylNotario, @emeduc, @neuroccm; we delve into the critical topic of Crisis Resource Management (CRM) in acute stroke care. In our podcast, we will apply these principles to a real-world scenario: managing a stroke emergency in the case of angioedema. The aim is to highlight the practical application of these CRM principles and discuss how they can facilitate consistent, safe, and efficacious care, helping to alleviate human factors and support high-performing teams. To make the transition from simulation to actual patient care as seamless as possible, thereby reducing stress, promoting certainty, and enhancing patient outcomes. So don't miss out. Tune in to our discussion to learn more about the transformative power of CRM in acute stroke care!

26 CSC StrokeFM Time to AcT

Friday, May 12, 2023 • Duration 49:51

In this episode, we interview Dr. Bijoy Menon (PI) and Dr. Rick Swartz (Co-PI), and we delve into the AcT trial, a study conducted to evaluate the efficacy of tenecteplase compared to alteplase for treating acute ischemic stroke. The trial involved 1,600 participants, with a median follow-up duration of 97 days.

The participants, who were all 18 years or older and had suffered an acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours of symptom onset, were randomly divided into two groups. Group one (816 patients) received intravenous tenecteplase (0.25 mg/kg, maximum of 25 mg), and group two (784 patients) received intravenous alteplase (0.09 mg/kg bolus, followed by a 60-minute infusion of the remaining 0.81 mg/kg).

The primary outcome measured was the modified Rankin Scale score of 0 or 1, which indicates no significant disability. This was achieved by 36.9% of patients in the tenecteplase group compared to 34.8% in the alteplase group, establishing tenecteplase's noninferiority (p for superiority = 0.19).

Secondary outcomes, such as intracerebral hemorrhage, were similar in both groups, with 3.4% in the tenecteplase group and 3.2% in the alteplase group.

The conclusion drawn from the AcT trial is that tenecteplase was noninferior to alteplase in preserving neurological function in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Due to its ease of administration, tenecteplase may become a preferred treatment option.

This episode is based on the study "Intravenous tenecteplase compared with alteplase for acute ischemic stroke in Canada (AcT): a pragmatic, multicenter, open-label, registry-linked, randomized, controlled, non-inferiority trial" published in Lancet in 2022.

17 High-performing Teams! (part 2 of 2) Crisis resource management in stroke care

Season 2 · Episode 3

Tuesday, March 9, 2021 • Duration 31:36

Did you ask about thrombolysis? We are here to deliver anxiolysis! In this second of a two-part episode of 2021, we discuss "crisis resource management" (CRM) in acute stroke - a cognitive, mindfulness, and non-technical framework for optimizing clinical performance and working in high-performing teams. CRM is a tool to master four operational domains: that of the self, teamwork, our working environment, and of course, (care for) our patient. Using CRM principles helps make us better clinicians, work more effectively in teams, and maintain a calm sense of vigilance. We re-introduce the concept of a "zero point survey" (Reid et al. 2018) as a starting point before coming on-call for a code stroke and as a tool for better self-awareness and performance. High-performing teams support good clinical outcomes at the resuscitation phase and apply to all subsequent patient care settings. Central to a high-performing team are principles of CRM and their timely application to stroke care. We review our paper in Neurocritical Care titled: "Crisis Resource Management and High-Performing Teams in Hyperacute Stroke Care" with three of the authors: Rajendram, Notario, Khosravani - In this episode we conclude this talk on "how to be a bad-a$$ stroke" resus doc!
