SEACOAST Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether different forms of GA improve collateral vigor and clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to LVO undergoing mechanical thrombectomy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with a specific type of stroke caused by a blockage in the brain's large blood vessels. They must be candidates for a procedure to remove the clot within 24 hours of symptoms starting and have had good health before the stroke. People can't join if they were intubated before evaluation, are likely to die within 3 months, have severe brain damage on scans, or other serious conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
SEACOAST 1 compares two ways of managing breathing during general anesthesia (GA) in stroke patients undergoing clot removal. One method keeps normal CO2 levels while the other allows slightly higher levels. The study aims to see which method better preserves blood flow in surrounding brain tissue and improves patient outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical risks associated with general anesthesia such as allergic reactions to anesthetic drugs, difficulty waking up after surgery, or issues related to mechanical ventilation like pneumonia.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Am I qualified to partake in this clinical research?

"This clinical trial is recruiting 90 participants aged 18-85 who have suffered a stroke within the last 24 hours and meet certain criteria, such as having an NIHSS score of 6 or higher 0-16h after their initial onset, ASPECTS scores ≥6 within the first 6 hours post onset, meeting DEFUSE imaging criteria between 6-16hours post onset or DAWN clinical/imaging mismatch criteria 16-24h after their original incident. Moreover, applicants must have had a premorbid mRS of 0 to 2 and be eligible for mechanical thrombectomy with groin puncture in less than ninety minutes from arriving at"
