New stroke procedures in Contra Costa County aim to provide speedier treatment
Local residents who undergo a stroke may receive faster treatment and suffer less brain damage as a result of new procedures implemented this week by Contra Costa County, medical experts say.
Emergency crews will now quickly determine whether someone appears to be having a stroke and will alert one of seven participating hospitals that a potential stroke patient is on the way.
That will give hospitals time to make sure that a CT scanner, a neurologist and other staff will be available -- either on-site or through an electronic link -- for quick assessment and treatment upon the patient's arrival.
The new rules apply around the clock and should save valuable time in getting care to patients, said Patricia Frost, the county's emergency medical services director.
