Considering that I'm a heterosexual female who has yet to develop a taste for anything stronger than black coffee...
All patients that the trauma center received had no long bone fractures or internal bleeding. They all suffered from various degrees of facial injuries
According to news releases they did receive minor patients. EMC had 11 I think and JFK got 5 I think
Unfortunately no. Got her to a stroke center as fast as reasonably possible (we were well over an hour by ground so flight was certainly a help) and they TPAed her right away. GCS improved from an 8 to a 14 but still full left side hemiparesis. Patient got flown to an interventional neurologist but they elected to not operate :/.
Embolic? Also, do you guys (or anyone on here) have any neuro-capable hospitals in your respective area(s) performing atherectomy's?
Sounds like Bakersfield.
I'd presume Albany med does. They've had any specialty operation I've heard of so far. It's "the" hospital for the rest of NYS outside of the city.
We have not been able to keep an interventional neurologist in Colorado Springs, so they all go to Denver where there are at least two.
That's about where we're at with it, too. TMK one of our neuro-capable hospitals had the ability for a brief period, but was unable to sustain the neurologist performing this procedure.
So we have heard, I was surprised it was not used on this patient.
Where did you end up? CC?
Yep. Got the opportunity and jumped.
