Скачать или смотреть Less Can Be Enough: Rethinking Stroke Monitoring After Thrombolysis

In this episode of FASTcast, Dr Faraidoon Haghdoost (Big Head Pain) summarizes the OPTIMISTmain trial — “Safety and efficacy of low-intensity versus standard monitoring following intravenous thrombolytic treatment in patients with acute ischaemic stroke” by Anderson et al., published in The Lancet in May 2025.

The study included 4922 patients across 8 countries and compared low-intensity vs standard monitoring after stroke thrombolysis. Results showed similar outcomes in terms of safety, disability, and mortality — offering a possible path forward to reduce unnecessary monitoring and relieve ICU burden in stable patients.
