Stroke treated significantly faster and just as safely by medical residents
Diagnosing acute stroke is a high-pressure decision. The speed with which treatment is delivered makes all the difference. Early treatment can stop brain damage, but if treatment is given inappropriately, it can dangerously increase the risk of bleeding in the brain.

But now researchers have shown that residents with appropriate training can safely make the call, ensuring that effective treatment is delivered faster.
