Additional information given to a multimodal imaging stroke protocol by transcranial Doppler ultrasound in the emergency room: a prospective observational study.
Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound can demonstrate dynamic information. We aimed to evaluate whether TCD generates useful additional information in the emergency room after a multimodal stroke imaging protocol and also whether this modified the management of patients with cerebral infarction. ⋯ TCD can provide additional information to a multimodal acute ischemic stroke imaging protocol in a third of patients. This can result in changes in the management in some of these patients.
