Comparison of outcomes among the three groups.

PurposeTo inspect whether time management with radio frequency identification technology (RFID) reduces symptom onset-to-intravenous thrombolysis time (OTT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS).MethodsIn the retrospective study, patients with AIS, transferred by Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital between September 2019 to June 2022, divided into three groups, as traditional group, in-hospital RFID group and whole process RFID group. Baseline characteristics and time metrics were compared.ResultsAfter the whole emergency process applied with RFID time management, Door to intravenous thrombolysis time (DNT) was reduced from 125.00±43.16 min to 32.59±25.45 min (F = 121.857, pF = 10.377, pConclusionsTime management with RFID is effective in reducing OTT in AIS patients with thrombolysis treatment.
