    Abstract The 2019 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) which was first reported in Wuhan, China last December 2019, has been declared an emergency by the World Health Organization but eventually progressed to become a Pandemic. To date, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected at least 100,000 individuals worldwide, reaching thousands of mortalities (Zhou et al., 2020; World Health Organization, 2020). In the Philippines, the number of COVID-19 confirmed positive cases is over 636 and is expected to rise (Department of Health, 2020). Respiratory infections alongside their comorbidities can induce acute myocardial infarction and acute ischemic stroke (Warren-Gash et al., 2018) [3]. These may further bring challenges in the management and administration of Intravenous (IV) Alteplase in eligible patients. Currently, there are no case reports in the administration IV Altepase in ischemic stroke patients who are COVID-19 positive. We present a case of a 62-year old female who was admitted due to cough, colds and shortness of breath of 2 weeks duration and was tested to be COVD-19 positive. She suffered from an ischemic stroke while in the Medical Intensive Care Unit and was given Intravenous thrombolysis.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Reversing the effect of dabigatran among patients with atrial fibrillation is important to normalize coagulation profile among patients who develop serious hemorrhage from any source. However, such intervention always has the potential to cause a prothrombotic state. Among patients suspected of ischemic stroke, Idarucizumab, may be administered preceding thrombolysis. This is a considerable option when given during the critical phase of revascularization.
    Methods: We report the case of an 84-year old, male, banker, known hypertensive with chronic renal disease. He has non valvular atrial fibrillation receiving Dabigatran at 75 mg twice daily and presented with symptoms of right-sided weakness, right hemisensory loss, facial asymmetry, and slurring of speech equating to National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) of 5. After coming into the hospital for a suspected stroke, 3 hours and 25 minutes after symptoms, complete reversal of Dabigatran with Idarucizumab was administered and intravenous thrombolysis was initiated 271 minutes post ictus. There was immediate improvement of the right upper extremity weakness and dysarthria 30 minutes post infusion. At 13 days post ictus, the patient was discharged with minimal right central facial palsy and right arm drift (NIHSS 2). Brain CT scan post revascularization did not reveal any hemorrhage and anticoagulant Apixaban 2.5 mg twice daily was started and maintained thereafter. Brain Magnetic Resonance Angiogram (MRA) showed complete recanalization of the left proximal MCA after 52 days.
    Conclusion: Our case showed the effectiveness and safety of giving Idarucizumab followed by thrombolysis in Dabigatran-treated atrial fibrillation with ischemic stroke. Based on this case, the procedure can be performed in an elderly population with chronic kidney disease when administered close to the limit of threshold for thrombolysis.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Since the declaration of the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic, ensuring the safety of our medical team while delivering timely management has been a challenge. Acute stroke patients continue to present to the emergency department and they may not have the usual symptoms of COVID-19 infection. Stroke team response and management must be done within the shortest possible time to minimize worsening of the functional outcome without compromising safety of the medical team.
    Methods: Infection control recommendations, emergency department protocols and stroke response pathways utilized prior to the COVID 19 pandemic within our institution were evaluated by our stroke team in collaboration with the multidisciplinary healthcare services. Challenges during the COVID-19 scenario were identified, from which a revised acute stroke care algorithm was formulated to adapt to this pandemic.
    Results: We formulated an algorithm that incorporates practices from internationally devised protocols while tailoring certain aspects to suit the available resources in our system locally. We highlighted the significance of the following: team role designation, coordination among different subspecialties and departments, proper use of personal protective equipment and resources, and telemedicine use during this pandemic.
    Conclusions: This pandemic has shaped the stroke team's approach in the management of acute stroke patients. Our algorithm ensures proper resource management while optimizing acute stroke care during the COVID-19 pandemic in our local setting. This algorithm may be utilized and adapted for local practice and other third world countries who face similar constraints.
