Code Stroke

When a stroke occurs, it is a medical emergency where minutes matter. At Renown Regional, a Code Stroke team responds 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. During a Code Stroke, a series of evaluations and stroke treatment occur, including:

  • Activation of the Code Stroke team by first responders before hospital arrival.
  • Immediate assessment on hospital arrival by a stroke neurologist.
  • Expedited advanced neuroimaging to determine if brain tissue can be saved.
  • Initiation of acute stroke treatment within tens of minutes of patient arrival. This can include the administration of a clot-busting medication (thrombolytics) and/or the surgical removal of the blood clot by neurointerventional surgery (surgery completed via blood vessels).
