Stroke

Stroke
Stroke
A stroke is caused by blocked or ruptured blood vessels that deprive the brain of the blood and oxygen it needs. 

At Parkland, we understand how critical the minutes and hours after a stroke can be to a patient’s recovery. As a Joint Commission certified Comprehensive Stroke Center, we are dedicated to providing the highest level of care. Our team of highly trained stroke experts is on call 24 hours a day – ready and committed to providing comprehensive quality care to meet the individual needs of each patient.

Our stroke treatment includes a six-bed unit for stroke patients and dedicated intensive care unit (ICU) beds. Our stroke patients receive round-the-clock care by compassionate and experienced doctors, stroke neurologists, surgeons, radiologists and skilled stroke specialists who have expertise in treating patients who have strokes or other conditions related to the brain and the brain’s blood vessels.

Some of the conditions we treat

  • Ischemic stroke
  • Arteriovenous Malformation
  • Brain aneurysm
  • Cavernous angioma/Cavernous Malformation
  • Epideral Hematoma
  • Hemorrhagic stroke
  • Intracerebral Hematoma
  • Subarachnoid hemorrhage

Stroke Outcomes

Our patients receive care based on the latest clinical practice guidelines respected and recognized throughout the world. The results of the care we provide for our patients are called “outcomes”. Outcomes serve as a measurement by which we can track our Stroke Program performance. This helps us to ensure we are performing our best work possible – providing the highest quality of safe care our patients expect and that we expect of ourselves.

In the last 4 quarters from Oct. 2020 – Sept. 2021, NONE of our patients treated with IV thrombolytics (tPA or TNK) had a complication related to the treatment. For our stroke patients receiving endovascular therapy (mechanical thrombectomy) in the same time period, only 4.5% of patients had a complication, which is below the National average. These treatments are utilized to restore function when time is brain giving our patients the best chance to recover.

Early recognition of symptoms and use of the proper severity scales are important in providing the best care for our patients. Of patients with ischemic strokes, NIH scales were performed 96% of the time over the last 4 quarters from Oct. 2020 – Sept. 2021. For patients with hemorrhagic strokes (bleeds), Hunt and Hess severity scores were used for 100% of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients and 92% for intracerebral hemorrhage patients (ICH) from Oct. 2020 – Sept. 2021.

In the last 4 quarters from Oct. 2020 – Sept. 2021, 100% of our stroke patients who received treatment with thrombolytics (IV tPA or TNK) had a modified Rankin Score of 2 or less at three months after discharge, which means they only had slight disability but were able to look after their own affairs.

In the last 4 quarters from Oct. 2020 – Sept. 2021, 82% of our stroke patients who received an endovascular procedure (mechanical thrombectomy) discharged with a TICI score of 2b or better, which means they had measurable restoration of blood flow to the ischemic area of their brain.

Over the last 4 quarters from Oct. 2020 – Sept. 2021, 100% of our stroke patients were assessed for rehabilitation services and 100% of our stroke patients received stroke education at discharge.
