Door to CT or MRI time in Stroke in the Emergency Room

What does it mean?

Average lag time between the arrival of the patient in Emergency Room and the time when a MRI is done, in cases of acute stroke. Lesser the time, the better the outcomes, as the “golden hour” is critical for patient survival in stroke.

What does it indicate?

The lesser the lag time, the more standardised and streamined the clinical protocols for clinical emergencies are, which implies better resuscitation and recovery from time -critical medical emergencies.
