Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Serial nursing neurological assessments, or neurochecks, detected worsening in nearly half of acute ischemic stroke patients. However, many deteriorations were missed or found between scheduled checks, highlighting the need for improved monitoring strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Stroke Care
  • Clinical Nursing

Background:

  • Serial nursing neurological assessments (neurochecks) are a critical but problematic standard in stroke center certification.
  • The effectiveness of neurochecks in detecting neurological changes, particularly in acute ischemic stroke, is understudied.
  • Current practices face challenges in reliably identifying neurological deterioration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the sensitivity of neurochecks in detecting neurological deterioration after acute ischemic stroke.
  • To evaluate the rates and detection methods of neurological worsening in stroke patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of 231 patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to a comprehensive stroke center over two years.
  • Analysis of data on neurological deterioration, including incidence, reasons, and detection rates by neurochecks within the first 72 hours.
  • Inclusion of patients who received intravenous thrombolysis.

Main Results:

  • Neurological worsening was identified in 62 (27%) of patients within 72 hours of admission.
  • Scheduled neurochecks detected the initial deterioration in 28 (45%) patients.
  • Deterioration was detected by nurses outside scheduled checks in 16 (26%) patients, and remained undetected in 18 (29%) patients.

Conclusions:

  • Neurochecks identified neurological deterioration in approximately half of acute stroke patients.
  • A significant number of deteriorations were detected outside of scheduled assessments or were missed entirely.
  • Novel monitoring strategies are required to enhance the timely identification of neurological status changes in acute stroke patients.
