Brief summary

This is a phase III trial trying to determine whether 12-hour bed rest following thrombectomy for ischemic stroke is non-inferior to 24-hour bed rest by measure of outcomes on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days post bed rest.

Inclusion criteria

* Age 18 years or older * Received thrombectomy (may have also received intravenous tPA) for a diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke * TICI 2b/2c/3 score following thromectomy * Patient and/or Legally Authorized Representative provide consent

Exclusion criteria

* TICI 0/1/2a score following thrombectomy * Venous thromboembolism present at symptom onset * Pneumonia present at symptom onset * STEMI at symptom onset * Positive troponins at symptom onset according to local values * Bone fracture at symptom onset * Intubation anticipated or occurred * Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (defined as increase in NIHSS by 4 points or more accompanied by PH2 hemorrhage on imaging) at the time of screening. * Pre-screening systolic blood pressure \< 110 mmHg * Resting pulse oximetry \< 92% (with or without supplemental oxygen) * Neurological worsening (defined as NIHSS increase of 4 points compared to initial score) prior to screening. * Baseline modified Rankin Scale score \> 2 * Known Pregnancy * Patient not anticipated to survive 3 months * Patient not anticipated to follow-up at 3 months

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
90 Day Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score90 days post bed restProportion of patients with a modified Rankin Scale score (min 0, max 5 with 0 being the best outcome) of 0-2 at 90 days

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
PneumoniaDuration of hospitalization stay, average 5 daysDetermine whether rates of pneumonia are at least similar in the two arms. Rates will be measured as percentages of the entire population at risk.
Venous ThromboembolismDuration of hospitalization stay, average 5 daysDetermine whether rates of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) are at least similar in the two arms. Rates will be measured as percentages of the entire population at risk.
Neurological WorseningDuration of hospitalization stay, average 5 daysDetermine whether rates of neurological worsening are at least similar in the two arms. Rates will be measured as percentages of the entire population at risk.
Readmission90 days post bed restDetermine whether rates of readmission are at least similar in the two arms.
Length of StayDuration of hospitalization stay, average 5 daysDetermine whether length of hospital stay are at least similar in the two arms. This will be measured in days.
