Hyperacute stroke care is the specialist, time-critical assessment and management of people presenting with suspected acute stroke, including ischaemic stroke and intracerebral haemorrhage. It may involve urgent neurological assessment, brain and vascular imaging, intravenous thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy pathways and physiological monitoring. McCollum Consultants provides independent hyperacute stroke expert witnesses for clinical negligence and other medico-legal matters involving emergency stroke care. Depending on the clinical issues and individual expertise, specialist opinion may address diagnosis, recognition and escalation of stroke, imaging, eligibility and timing of reperfusion treatment, transfer to specialist services, standards of care, causation, complications and prognosis.
