Abstract Objective To study the effect of a new type of first aid mode called trinity,including pre-hospital care,emergency management,special wards management, on diagnosis and treatment of acute stroke (AS)patients.Methods 196 new stoke patients admitted to our emergency department from January 2008 to May 2011 were divided into groups of test (n=100) and control (n=96).Pre-hospital emergency, in-hospital rescue, case fatality,neurologic impairment levels in the hospital and complications over three months were calculated.Results Time of admission to the emergency department and the rate of asphyxiation,convulsion and fatality in control group were well above those in test group (P<0.05).No significant difference was noted in the incidence of cerebral hernia and score of neurologic impairment levels between the two groups.The time taken by medical imaging diagnosis,time of admission to special wards,the continued fatality rate and the score of neurologic impairment levels in control group after seven days of hospital stay compared favorably with the test group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in mortality (P>0.05).By the end of the third month,there was significant difference between the two groups in mortality (P<0.05),post-discharge mortality and relapse of stroke (P<0.05).Conclusion A This new type of first aid mode is an important means of reducing stroke disablement and elevating the life quality of stroke victims.
