A mobile stroke treatment unit makes it possible for patients exhibiting stroke symptoms to receive clot-busting drugs within the critical time period. These drugs are known as tPa or intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator, which can dissolve blood clots that could affect brain cells and brain functions. However, treatment is time-critical for stroke victims, and the mobile treatment units, manned by qualified personnel, deliver the appropriate therapies on site before the patient is transported to the hospital for further evaluation.<\/p>\n
