New Technology Helps Smaller Hospitals Identify Signs of a Stroke
ProMedica uses Telestroke to help patients in remote locations

Prompt medical treatment for stroke patients is crucial to their survival
and improved technology is helping neurologists in heavily populated areas
reach out to patients at smaller regional hospitals.
.
The issue is especially dire if a patient goes to the emergency room of a
hospital that has a shortage of stroke specialists or is in a remote
location. The outcome could be grim for the patient.

At Toledo Hospital, the ProMedica Stroke Network uses a computer called
Telestroke to help patients in remote locations. The technology allows
specialists such as Dr. Jumaa examine, assess, and recommend treatment for
someone who is having a stoke miles away.
.
"The solution that we started presenting is to use technology to access
stroke patients in local communities that don't have access to experts,"
he said. "So what we do is a two-way video and audio conference. We can
perform a neurology exam. The patient and family can see me. The
conference can happen within minutes of them arriving in the emergency
department and the technology is secure."

Once a diagnosis is confirmed, Dr. Jumaa said a clot-busting drug can be
given within the first four-and-a-half hours after a stroke onset.
.
With Telestroke, a camera in the emergency room at the remote location
allows a neurologist to use an iPhone, iPad, or laptop to do a
face-to-face meeting with a patient, doctor, and family. The doctor looks
at test results and decides the best plan for the patient, Ms. Joseph
said.
