Impact of multidisciplinary simulation training on endovascular thrombectomy: Workflow, patient outcomes and anaesthetic management.

ABSTRACT: BackgroundEndovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a time-sensitive treatment for acute stroke patients. This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of multidisciplinary simulation training on workflow, patient outcomes, and anaesthetic management during EVT.MethodsThis pre-post interventional study treated 244 stroke patients with EVT (55 pre- and 189 postintervention) between May 2016 and November 2021. A multidisciplinary in situ EVT simulation training programme, including a new EVT protocol with a higher blood pressure target range, was implemented in 2017. We assessed the following variables: (1) Workflow metrics: Process times, revascularisation success, and complications; (2) patient outcomes: Symptomatic intracerebral haemorrhage, functional outcomes at 90 days, and the National Ins
