Forsyth Medical Center launches region's first comprehensive teleneurology program
Date:10/30/2009

for up to six hours, reducing the need to immediately transfer patients to a comprehensive stroke center such as Forsyth Medical Center for additional care.

"When a person suffers a stroke, 1.9 million nerve cells in the brain die every minute," Dr. Chase explains. "This steady loss of brain cells can often be curtailed through the use of tPA, but determining its appropriate use is best done by trained and experienced stroke and critical care neurologists."

For participating community hospitals, having this level of physician expertise on call will help to save lives and brain function for many patients and may eliminate the need to transport patients to a certified primary stroke center or comprehensive stroke center for further treatment.

Providing support for emergency stroke care is only one component of Forsyth's program, which will also include rapid access to consultation for patients with conditions such as aneurysms, brain tumors, concussions, epilepsy and other conditions that can affect the head and spine. The program will also provide stroke treatment training at participating hospitals and stroke prevention outreach to communities they serve.

Forsyth Medical Center plans to offer its 24-hour emergency teleneurology services to other hospital organizations throughout North Carolina and Virginia.
