UCHealth’s Mobile Stroke Treatment Unit – the third such vehicle in the United States — will begin operating in Colorado Springs this month, bringing fast, first-of-its-kind services to stroke victims in southern Colorado.<\/p>\n

During a stroke, time is critically important. The unit enables a stroke-trained team to quickly evaluate a patient and administer blood clot-busting medication in the field rather than waiting for a patient to arrive at a hospital. Such swift treatment can be crucial to preserving brain function; with every minute treatment is delayed in a stroke, 1.8 million brain cells die.<\/p>\n

The Mobile Stroke Treatment Unit <\/a>(MSTU) looks like an ambulance but is more like a specialized emergency department on wheels. The unit carries a CT scanner, a critical care-trained nurse, a CT tech, an EMS provider and telestroke equipment on board that allows for remote evaluation of the patient and review of the brain scan by a stroke neurologist.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe highly-trained stroke teams at hospitals throughout UCHealth are focused on providing life-saving treatments to stroke patients as quickly as possible,\u201d said Dr. William Jones, medical director of stroke services for UCHealth. \u201cUntil now, we\u2019ve had to wait until a patient arrives at the hospital to treat them. Now, our teams are able to actually examine a patient and start treatment before they even arrive at the emergency department.\u201d<\/p>\n

The MSTU will be part of a national research study into the medical benefits for stroke treatments provided by the unit. It will split time between Colorado Springs and Aurora, where the unit has been operational for four months.<\/p>\n

Violette points out details of the Mobile Stroke Treatment Unit (MSTU) to Smith as the MSTU prepares for departure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cThis is something that advances medicine in our community,\u2019\u2019 said Tamera Dunseth Rosenbaum<\/a>, associate chief nursing officer for UCHealth Memorial Hospital. \u201cThis is an investment in our staff and in the community and that\u2019s really why we are here, is to provide better outcomes for patients in our community.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The stroke treatment and research delivered by the MSTU is providing a foundation that may change the standard of care for stroke across the country and may result in improved quality of life for stroke patients for years to come. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States and the leading cause of adult disability.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew technology like mobile stroke treatment units and telestroke are bringing significant advancements to how we care for stroke patients,\u201d said Janice Miller, MD, stroke medical director at Memorial Hospital. \u201cI\u2019m excited about providing a higher level of care and reducing the potential long-term, devastating effects that a stroke can cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meghan Wilson-Zuccarello, a paramedic with American Medical Response, will be part of a team of caregivers who will provide care for stroke patients in Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it is fantastic. It is exciting new medical technology, and having the ability to provide Emergency Room treatments in the field is fantastic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be bringing the ER to the house and treating a patient right there,\u2019\u2019 Wilson-Zuccarello said.<\/p>\n

Kevin Ozburn, an emergency medical technician for AMR, said he is hopeful that the presence of the MSTU in Colorado Springs will result in faster delivery of clot-busting drugs for patients.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this is going to be an amazing thing,\u2019\u2019 Ozburn said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
