Stroke Treatment Breakthrough: Life-Saving Window Now 24 Hours

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. In India, a stroke occurs every 40 seconds, and a stroke-related death happens every four minutes. Significant advances in stroke management have extended the critical treatment window to up to 24 hours. This breakthrough has significantly improved stroke care and offers new hope to patients who would otherwise be outside the traditional treatment timeframe.

Understanding Stroke
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. There are two main types: ischemic stroke, caused by a blockage in an artery, and haemorrhagic stroke, caused by bleeding in the brain. Rapid treatment is crucial to minimize brain damage and improve outcomes.

Traditional Treatment Window
Historically, the window for treating ischemic stroke with intravenous thrombolysis has been limited to within 4.5 hours of symptom onset. Mechanical thrombectomy, a procedure to physically remove the clot, was initially recommended within six hours. These narrow windows often meant that many patients, particularly those who had strokes during sleep or were unable to get to a hospital quickly, missed out on these life-saving treatments.

Advances in Neurointervention
Recent advances in neurointerventional techniques have dramatically extended the treatment window for ischemic stroke to up to 24 hours. These techniques include advanced imaging technologies that can identify salvageable brain tissue, allowing doctors to make more informed decisions about who can benefit from late treatment.
Advanced imaging technologies, such as perfusion CT and MRI scans, help identify the “penumbra” – brain tissue that is at risk but still salvageable. This enables doctors to extend the window for mechanical thrombectomy safely. Mechanical thrombectomy, a minimally invasive procedure, involves threading a catheter through an artery to the site of the blockage in the brain, where a stent retriever is used to remove the clot.

Recent studies have shown that thrombectomy can be effective up to 24 hours after stroke onset in select patients. Perfusion imaging assesses blood flow in the brain and identifies areas with reduced but not yet irreversible damage, helping in selecting patients who would benefit from late intervention.

Challenges and Considerations
Despite the promising advancements, several challenges remain. Access to advanced imaging and neurointerventional facilities is still limited in many parts of India. Additionally, there is a need for increased awareness and education among the public and healthcare providers about the signs of stroke and the importance of timely treatment.

The extension of the treatment window for stroke to 24 hours marks a significant leap forward in stroke care, emphasizing the importance of ongoing research and innovation in medical science. This advancement translates to improved outcomes and reduced disability for patients, offering a better quality of life post-stroke. As neurointerventional techniques continue to evolve, the ability to treat patients up to 24 hours after stroke onset is a game-changer, promising a brighter future for stroke survivors.

Aviation has a crucial role to play in relief and rescue missions, says Jaideep Mirchandani

16th August 2024:  Amid frequent extreme weather events and unfolding humanitarian crises, the need for responsive relief missions increases manifold. Though relief and rescue efforts across the world are mostly handled by organisations like The International Rescue Committee (IRC), national rescue centres, armed forces, Coast Guard services, the Air Force and maritime agencies, the commercial aviation sector can also play an important role. Helicopter services can successfully airlift people and supply aid while airports often serve as key hubs for rescuers as well as the management of relief supplies, cargo deliveries, and refugee inflow and outflow.

On World Humanitarian Day (August 19), as the world remembers courageous humanitarians, Jaideep Mirchandani, owner of Sky One Airways underscores the invaluable service provided by the aviation sector during disaster relief operations. There have been numerous incidents where aviators have lost their lives while engaged in relief efforts.

“The role of aviation is crucial in emergency relief scenarios, serving as a primary means of providing rapid and dependable access to humanitarian aid. It also helps in swiftly delivering assistance, especially when existing infrastructure is damaged or conflict zones impede access to affected areas,” says Jaideep Mirchandani.

The choppers services provided by Sky One in India have participated in various rescue operations as well, including facilitating firefighting efforts, delivering medical and food supplies to war-affected areas and evacuating distressed communities.

“Disaster relief operations often face challenges such as limited airfield availability, dilapidated or damaged infrastructure and adverse weather conditions. However, technological advancements, including thermal imaging cameras and drones are helping disaster response teams to overcome some of these hurdles,” adds Mr Mirchandani.

He says that the key responsibility of the airlines at the time of disaster relief situations is careful planning and organising available resources wisely. “This involves developing a detailed logistical plan to effectively utilise available aircraft and helicopters. Prioritising essential supplies such as food, water, shelter materials and medical kits, according to the immediate requirements of disaster-affected people, is also vital,” he adds.

Mr Mirchandani believes that the effectiveness of relief measures largely depends on smooth coordination between governments, international agencies like the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), aviation authorities, security forces and rescue operators. “An effective disaster response and relief management team is an integral part of strong aviation management practices. In an increasingly uncertain world, the importance of aviation in humanitarian assistance is expected to grow,” he concludes.
