Mobilisation After Endovascular Stroke Treatment

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Mobilisation: Out of bed mobilisation, such as sitting on the edge of the bed, standing or walking with or without support.

Study summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn how the timing of mobilisation after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) affects complications in patients with acute ischaemic stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does mobilisation approximately 12 hours after EVT, compared to approximately 24 hours after EVT, affect the risk of complications such as access site haematoma (ASH), venous thromboembolism (VTE), infections, and delirium? How common are these complications after EVT, and which factors are associated with increased risk?

Participants undergoing EVT as part of their regular stroke care at two hospitals with different mobilisation routines will be followed during their hospital stay. Researchers will collect information about mobilisation timing, complications, clinical assessments, and medical history using case report forms, electronic health records, and national stroke registries.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Access site haematoma — From completion of endovascular thrombectomy (baseline) to discharge from the stroke unit, up to 5 days.
  Bleeding from puncture site
