Whether it's upgrading documentation for accreditation or integrating state-of-the-art telestroke services, Sevaro is at the forefront. Our work not only aids in achieving certification but also elevates the quality of stroke care provided to patients.

#TelestrokeTuesday: Roberto's Lifesaving Airlift to a Comprehensive Stroke Center 🚁 It is easy to see the appeal of living in a rural area...the peace and quiet, rustic beauty, and fresh air are just some of the pros. Yet, for all its peace and serenity, rural living comes with certain stark realities, particularly when it comes to medical emergencies. For 68-year-old Roberto, a man with atrial fibrillation and on anticoagulation therapy, this was his reality. Despite being on Eliquis, Roberto suffered a significant stroke, characterized by dense left-sided weakness and a right gaze deviation. 🚁 Rapid Airlift to Care Due to the time-sensitive nature of strokes, the stakes were incredibly high. Thankfully, despite being in a rural area, Roberto was able to be airlifted in time to a large Comprehensive Stroke Center (CSC). This swift action was crucial, as the local hospital was not equipped to take care of patients with severe strokes. 🧠 Access to Expert Care After a consult and diagnosis from a virtual neurologist, Roberto underwent emergent endovascular therapy (EVT), a procedure that successfully achieved TICI 2C reperfusion, greatly improving blood flow to the affected area of his brain. Post-treatment, his NIHSS score improved dramatically, showcasing a substantial recovery. 🏥 The Importance of Rural Hospital Access At Sevaro, we envision a future where exceptional neurological care is accessible to every patient with a neurological disorder, regardless of their location. Roberto’s story highlights the vital need for rural hospitals to have access to vascular neurologists and Comprehensive Stroke Centers.

Today, as we observe Juneteenth, we're reminded of President Obama’s words: "Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It's a celebration of progress. It's an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible—and there is still so much work to do." Let’s keep striving to make the world a healthier, more equitable place for all. ❤️💚🖤 #Juneteenth

🌟 #TelestrokeTuesday Spotlight: Do You Know How To Spot A Stroke And What To Do Next? 🌟 A regular family dinner turned into a critical emergency for 90-year-old Carmella. As she was heading upstairs after dinner, Carmella suddenly lost her grip on the railing, fell backwards, and landed on the ground. In an instant, the left side of her body became paralyzed. This frightening moment made it unmistakably clear that something was seriously wrong, but not all strokes are this obvious. 🚨 Recognizing the Subtle Signs of a Stroke While Carmella's fall was a visible, dramatic event, strokes can also present in less obvious ways. This makes knowing all the signs of a stroke crucial. Remember the acronym BEFAST to spot the signs quickly: + Balance: Sudden loss of balance + Eyes: Loss of vision in one or both eyes + Face Drooping: One side of the face may droop or is numb + Arm Weakness: One arm is weak or numb + Speech Difficulty: Speech is slurred, or the person is unable to speak + Time to call 911: If someone shows any of these signs, even if the symptoms go away. 🏥 How Swift Action Saved A Life Carmella's family acted fast, calling 911 immediately, which brought her the urgent care she needed. At the hospital, the ED had all the systems in place for fast diagnosis & treatment. Within 45 seconds, a #VirtualNeurologist was talking with Carmella's nurse, and quickly diagnosed her with a right M1 occlusion. Thanks to the rapid administration of IV tenecteplase and a successful mechanical thrombectomy, Carmella was able to return home just two days later, nearly fully recovered. Carmella's story highlights the crucial role of rapid response and advanced #TelestrokeTechnology in saving lives. However, the critical first step is always recognizing the signs of a stroke and taking immediate action. Every second counts when it comes to stroke treatment, and knowing what to look for can make all the difference. 👉 Learn more about recognizing the signs of a stroke.
