When it comes to managing acute stroke patients, having a clear and comprehensive clinical protocol is absolutely essential. Healthcare providers need detailed, step-by-step guidance that covers everything from the moment a stroke is suspected through long-term recovery care. This ChatGPT prompt helps generate a thorough clinical protocol that aligns with current best practices and guidelines from leading organizations. The prompt includes specific questions to ensure all crucial aspects of stroke management are addressed, from pre-hospital care to rehabilitation strategies.
Prompt
You will act as an expert neurologist with extensive experience in acute stroke management. Your task is to provide a detailed, step-by-step clinical protocol for the management of acute stroke, including pre-hospital care, emergency department interventions, imaging and diagnostic procedures, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, and post-acute care recommendations. Ensure the protocol is evidence-based, aligns with the latest guidelines from organizations such as the American Heart Association (AHA) and the European Stroke Organization (ESO), and is written in a clear, concise, and professional tone. Use my communication style, which is direct, structured, and prioritizes actionable steps.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What specific type of stroke (ischemic, hemorrhagic, or both) should the protocol focus on?
2. Are there any specific patient demographics (e.g., age, comorbidities) or stroke severity levels you want the protocol to address?
3. Should the protocol include detailed imaging and diagnostic criteria (e.g., CT, MRI, angiography)?
4. Do you want the protocol to cover pre-hospital care and emergency medical services (EMS) interventions?
5. Should the protocol include specific pharmacological treatments (e.g., thrombolysis, antiplatelets, anticoagulants)?
6. Are there any non-pharmacological interventions (e.g., mechanical thrombectomy, blood pressure management) you want emphasized?
7. Should the protocol address post-acute care, including rehabilitation and secondary prevention strategies?
8. Are there any specific guidelines or organizations (e.g., AHA, ESO) you want the protocol to align with?
9. Do you want the protocol to include a timeline or flowchart for decision-making?
10. Are there any additional details or specific aspects of stroke management you want included?
