    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Nursing

    Background:

    • The principle 'time is brain' emerged in the 1990s with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) for acute ischemic stroke.
    • Both rt-PA and time-sensitive endovascular therapy have revolutionized acute stroke treatment, highlighting the critical nature of rapid intervention.
    • Despite its recognized importance in hyperacute stroke care, the concept of 'time is brain' has not undergone formal concept analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore and clarify the concept of 'time is brain' within the specific context of acute stroke care.
    • To provide a methodological framework for understanding the implications of 'time is brain' in clinical practice.
    • To enhance the provision of optimal acute stroke care by gaining deeper insight into this critical concept.

    Main Methods:

    • Employed Walker and Avant's (2011) established approach to concept analysis.
    • Systematically reviewed literature to identify and analyze the concept of 'time is brain' in acute stroke.
    • Focused on understanding the concept's application in clinical nursing practice.

    Main Results:

    • The 'time is brain' concept underscores the direct relationship between treatment delay and patient outcomes in acute stroke.
    • Identified key elements influencing the application and understanding of 'time is brain' in stroke management.
    • Highlighted the critical role of multidisciplinary teams in responding to time-sensitive stroke interventions.

    Conclusions:

    • Formal concept analysis of 'time is brain' is essential for refining acute stroke care protocols.
    • Understanding 'time is brain' is fundamental for improving clinical decision-making and patient outcomes in stroke.
    • This analysis provides a foundation for evidence-based nursing practice in hyperacute stroke management.
