Introduction: The Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) is pathology with an approximate prevalence of 500-600 per 100,000 people in white population and a rate to 5.54 million deaths annually. The thrombolytic therapy within 4.5 hours improvement the ACV long-term prognosis. The use of clinical pathways has demonstrated reduce the attention time in pathologies with specific treatment like ACV. Objective: To determine the effect of implementing the pathway for patients' care with hyperacute ischemic stroke in reducing door-to-imaging time. Materials and methods: Study before and after implementation of the pathway for patients' care with hyperacute ischemic stroke who were admitted to the emergency department. Demographic variables and time intervals of door-to-imaging time, door to neurology evaluation and door-to- needle-time were measured. Results: The mean age was 68.8 years (SD13) before and 70 years (SD 12) after. The median (IQR) door-to-imaging time was 33 (18.5-54) minutes before and 6,5 (-9-30) after p: 0,017. The median (IQR) door to - neurology evaluation was 90 (16-116) before and 38 (11.5-110) after. The median (IQR) door-to thrombolysis time was 74 (53-119) before and 86 (45-100) after. The percentage of patients undergoing thrombolytic therapy was similar. Conclusion: The implementing the pathway for patients' care with hyperacute ischemic stroke in reduces door-to-imaging time.
