3 1) Objective This procedure describes contingency plans across Cumbria and Lancashire for the hyperacute stroke pathway should a CT scanner fail in any site and existing internal contingency procedures are unable to absorb the impact. The objective is to ensure that suitable candidates for thrombolysis are not prevented from accessing the treatment by equipment failure. 2) Scope This standard operating procedure sets out the procedure for: Alert and cascade systems for all stakeholders should a problem arise with a CT scanner that cannot be resolved internally Redirection of FAST positive patients Alert and cascade systems for all stakeholders for when CT scanners are repaired Trust procedures for clinical governance and maintenance are out of scope of this procedure. Internal Trust procedures for contingency in the case of CT scanner failure are provided as appendices in section 7. Patients are currently admitted across eight geographical sites for thrombolysis treatment. These are: Royal Blackburn Hospital Royal Preston Hospital Blackpool Victoria Hospital Royal Lancaster Infirmary Furness General Hospital West Cumberland Hospital Cumberland Infirmary Southport and Formby District General Hospital 3) Process The below maps describes how the Cumbria and Lancashire Network will aim to maintain hyper-acute service and optimise opportunities for thrombolysing suitable candidates in the event of a CT scanner failing. In each map, swimlanes indicate responsibility for each stage of the procedure - Figure 1 shows the procedure to be initiated in the event of CT scanner failure - Figure 2 shows the procedure to be initiated once the CT scanner is repaired - Figure 3 shows contact lists for external alerts 3

9 APPENDIX 1 01 April 2010 CI074 Preston Stroke Thrombolysis Pilot Changes to the patient pathway for access to Stroke thrombolysis at Royal Preston Hospital The access to acute stroke care in the early hours after onset of symptoms dramatically improves the outcome for stroke patients (National Stroke Strategy, DoH 2007). Acute stroke care includes, for some patients, access to CT or MRI scanning and thrombolysis, which must be delivered within a short time of symptom onset. Additional specialist assessment and nursing also play a significant part in patient outcome. Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Trust and Central Lancashire PCT have agreed to pilot the implementation of thrombolysis for patients with acute stroke from 0900 hours on 1st April During the six months pilot all patients presenting with a positive FAST and in the Royal Preston Hospital catchment area only will be conveyed to the Emergency Department on a stand-by or courtesy call. Patients presenting with compromised vital signs should continue to be taken directly to ED as normal (see attached flow chart). The original plan was to introduce the stroke thrombolysis pathway/pre-alert after the Easter Bank Holiday, but due to circumstances beyond our control this date had to be brought forward, so please accept my apologies for the short notice.

10 OUT OF HOURS STROKE PATHWAY (Monday Friday hours and all day Saturday and Sunday) F.A.S. Test A positive F.A.S Test should be considered if any one or more of the following are present. Facial Weakness: Ask the patient to smile, showing their teeth. This makes one sided facial weakness apparent. Arm Weakness (motor): Ask the patient to hold both arms outstretched at 90 degrees in front of them with their palms downward, and close their eyes for 5 seconds. The arm with motor weakness will drift downwards. Speech: Ask the patient to repeat a phrase. Assess for slurring or difficulty with the words or sentence. Ensure careful approach Gain history (MOI) & time of onset AVPU Establish ABCD Patient position Administer Oxygen Therapy If SpO2 <95% Ambulance Perspective If any of the following are present then the patient must be transferred to the nearest Emergency Department Airway is it compromised? Cannot be managed by simple manoeuvres Breathing RR <10 or >30 and/or SpO2 is <90% post high concentration oxygen Circulation BP <90mmHg or pulse <40bpm or >120bpm Disability GCS <8 Blood Glucose must be measured and recorded Positive Vital Signs Neurological Assessment (F.A.S.T.)
