Do you know the differences between stroke center types?

Here are the simple breakdowns for Primary Stroke Centers, Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Centers, and Comprehensive Stroke Centers:

🥉 Primary Stroke Center (PSC):
- Equipped to provide emergent and stabilizing care for stroke patients, particularly ischemic stroke patients
- Equipped to administer clot-busting medications, such as tPA (tissue plasminogen activator)
- Procedures in place to quickly transfer out patients who require more advanced care

🥈 Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Center (TSC):
- Provides all services that PSCs offers
- Can perform mechanical thrombectomies to pull clots out of major brain arteries
- Offers 24/7 access to neurointerventionalists and neuro-specific critical care for post-procedure recovery

🥇 Comprehensive Stroke Center (CSC):
- Provides all services that PSCs and TSCs offer
- Equipped to address hemorrhagic stroke patients and other complex stroke patients that PSCs and TSCs could not
- Can perform special surgical services, such as aneurysm clipping and aneurysm coiling
- Staffed by neuro-intensivists who specialize only in neurological critical care and complex brain injuries
