Emergency Neurological Life Support: Acute Ischemic Stroke.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Robotic tele-presence (RTP) is a form of mobile telemedicine, which enables a direct face-to-face rapid response by the physician, instead of the traditional telephonic paradigm. We hypothesized that a model of RTP for after-hour ICU rounds and emergencies would be associated with improved ICU nurse satisf...
