Aggregation of marginal gains in the care of acute stroke
Br J Hosp Med (Lond).
2009 Mar.
Abstract
The chain of events between a patient first suffering symptoms of acute ischaemic stroke and receiving treatment in an acute stroke unit contains the potential for many delays. Identifying and minimizing these delays can make the difference between life and death, serious debilitation and complete recovery.
