⏱️ Thrombectomy: Time vs Arterial Lines
Dr. Rebecca Campbell: Most patients don’t need an arterial line—it didn’t reduce hypotension. Every 10-min delay reduces disability-free survival. Move fast, safely. 🧠💉

🧠 Thrombectomy Q&A: 
Dr. Rebecca Campbell:
National clock start → puncture = 2h17m (transfers = 3h57m).
New target for direct admissions: 60 mins. ✅
Some London centres are hitting it, but it takes a team effort.

💡 Post-thrombectomy critical care data:
Dr. Rebecca Campbell @NACCS:
“SSNAP tracks if patients go to HDU or ITU and why—but the ITU reason question is poorly written, so answers are often hard to capture.”

💉 NACCS Webinar Q: "Are colleagues doing RSI for thrombectomy? TIVA?"
Dr. Rebecca Campbell: "Depends on fasting & patient factors. Only if aspiration risk is high. Data suggest non-TIVA may be faster."

💡 Q from NACCS webinar: “Strong evidence for etomidate to avoid hypotension in thrombectomy GA?”
Dr. Campbell: “Not really. Careful use of familiar induction agents + vasopressors works best, especially in complex patients.”
#StrokeCare #Thrombectomy #Anesthesia #naccs

Two weeks after our NACCS webinar, a common question was:
“Which vasopressor or antihypertensive do you use?”
Dr. Campbell:
🔹 Vasopressor: Metaraminol (± ephedrine)
🔹 Antihypertensive: Labetalol
🔹 Some centres use magnesium (SPRINT audit)

🩺 NACCS Webinar Q&A with Dr. Susanna Muehlschlegel
ICU prognosis is tricky. Early pessimism frees beds but patients can surprise us, even after weeks. ⏳ When in doubt, time can save lives.
💭 Empty beds or unexpected survivors?

📢 NACCS Q&A Dr. Susanne Muehlschlegel: True shared decision-making = balanced outlook 📊, no nihilism 🚫, check biases , respect family values ❤️ (life > predicted QOL).
