Download FREE Study Guide [LINK IN COMMENTS]

This is Part 3 of a 4-part stroke series with Dr. Atkinson: Code Stroke – Emergency Imaging, tPA Criteria, and Endovascular Rescue. We’ll walk step-by-step through what happens the moment a stroke alert hits the ED — from EMS handoff to neuro checks after treatment.

You’ll learn:
• Why non-contrast CT is the first stop in stroke care
• tPA eligibility criteria and dosing
• NIH Stroke Scale scoring basics
• Vital sign and neuro check timelines
• When and how endovascular thrombectomy saves brain tissue

Whether it’s ruling out a hemorrhage, starting tPA within the golden window, or racing to the cath lab for a large vessel occlusion, this video breaks down the exact actions that save time — and neurons. Perfect for nursing students, NCLEX prep, and neuro/critical care staff.
