Electroconvulsive Therapy01:30

Electroconvulsive Therapy

2.5K
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), or shock therapy, remains a critical biomedical intervention for severe, treatment-resistant depression. While its origins can be traced back to Hippocrates' observations that malaria-induced convulsions alleviated mental illness, modern ECT has evolved significantly from its earlier, more primitive applications. First introduced in 1938 by Ugo Cerletti and his colleagues, ECT involves inducing controlled seizures using electrical currents. In its early...

Current Trends in Nursing II

2.0K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Telemedicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Telestroke is established for rural areas lacking neurologists.
  • Urban telestroke applications remain largely undescribed.
  • This study addresses the gap in understanding urban telestroke utility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of telestroke in urban emergency settings.
  • To analyze patient characteristics and treatment decisions made via telestroke.
  • To assess the impact of telestroke on thrombolysis rates in urban populations.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective analysis of 498 patients evaluated via telestroke across four urban hospitals (March 2011-March 2013).
  • Remote consultations provided by academic stroke center neurologists.
  • Data collected on patient demographics, consult times, technical issues, and treatment recommendations.

Main Results:

  • Median time to teleconsult initiation was 5 minutes.
  • 56.4% of patients were diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke or TIA.
  • Intravenous alteplase was recommended for 14.5% of all patients (25.6% of ischemic stroke/TIA patients).
  • Technical difficulties were minimal, with only one major issue reported.

Conclusions:

  • Telestroke provides rapid and effective acute stroke assessment in urban environments.
  • Urban telestroke enhances access to specialized neurological care.
  • The technology shows potential for improving timely thrombolysis administration in urban settings.
