[Ep21] Have you ever heard of a Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU)? When time is critical for helping restore a patient back to their normal - like during a suspected stroke - a MSU can cut down on the time needed to not only identify the stroke, but also treat it.
In this episode we talk with Corbin Willis, a Physician Assistant at Riverside Methodist Hospital who specializes in acute stroke care. He also happens to work on the Mobile Stroke Treatment Unit (MSTU) in the Columbus, Ohio area.
Some of the topics we'll cover are:
- What's the local history of the MSTU?
- Who all staffs a vehicle like this?
- How is the MSTU dispatched?
- What are the treatment options once the MSTU arrives?
- What were some of the challenges of starting a mobile stroke unit?
- What are some of the current trends with wakeup strokes?
- Are there any future changes coming to the current MSTU in Columbus?
- And more!
