Bedside blood test can deliver results in under 10 minutes to guide urgent stroke care
Minutes count when a patient with a stroke arrives at a hospital emergency room. Doctors stand ready to treat the patient, but whether medication can dissolve the blood clot depends on what the patient is already taking.
AI Summary
A bedside blood test can provide results in under ten minutes, allowing clinicians to quickly determine whether clot‑dissolving medication is appropriate for stroke patients. Current practice of sending samples to a laboratory can delay results for as long as an hour, potentially hindering timely treatment.
