Overview

The Department of Neurosciences at Jehangir Hospital offers efficient, round-the-clock services and is renowned for its exceptional care during the critical "Golden Hour" for stroke patients. This initial 4.5-hour period is considered the most crucial because, following the artery blockage, approximately 2 million neurons are lost every minute. Patients who receive clot-dissolving injections within this timeframe have a significantly higher chance of survival and are more likely to avoid long-term brain damage. In the case of acute ischemic stroke, the "door-to-needle" time is set at 60 minutes or less after the patient's arrival at the hospital, ensuring swift and effective treatment.

Code Stroke Programme: A "Code Stroke" is activated through the public announcement system, and this alert summons the stroke team, including the emergency physician, emergency department nurse, intensivist, neurologist, radiologist, interventional neurologist, and on-call neurosurgeon. Within the critical 4.5-hour window from the onset of a stroke, a patient may qualify for fibrinolytic therapy. We prioritise minimising the time from a patient's arrival at the Emergency Department. When the patient is eligible for endovascular therapy, such as mechanical thrombectomy, our interventional neurologist and radiologist are readily available for immediate management.
