Abstract

Abstract: The incidence of acute ischemic stroke is high. Early intravenous thrombolysis and arterial thrombectomy can significantly improve the patients' prognosis. The proportion of patients receiving early treatment is low in China and globally, and the main reason is prehospital delay. In this paper, the main factors causing prehospital delay are summarized, and the causes are deeply discussed, so as to provide ideas on how to avoid prehospital delay and improve the treatment efficiency of acute ischemic stroke.

Key words: Ischemic stroke, Intravenous thrombolysis, Prehospital delay, Identification of stroke

摘要： 急性缺血性卒中发病率高，早期静脉溶栓、动脉取栓可显著改善患者预后。我国乃至全球范围内接受早期治疗的患者比例均较低，而主要原因是院前延误。本文总结了造成院前延误的主要因素，并深入探讨其原因，为如何避免院前延误提供思路，从而提高急性缺血性卒中的救治效率。
