It remains to be seen whether this increase in the number of acute stroke patients with LVO requiring mechanical thrombectomy will be sustained, but the effects are the same with respect to time and effort on the part of nursing and the rest of the neurointerventional team. Almost all of the patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy during the month of April at our institution were of unknown COVID-19 status at the time of intervention, requiring significant modifications to our usual workflow to accommodate the necessities of infection control. Our single-institution experience shows that acute stroke patients with LVO are at least as high and likely higher than during the pre-COVID era, with increasing demands on nursing and the rest of the neurointerventional staff to adequately care for these patients while minimizing exposure to themselves and others.	./cache/cord-261980-bm0benu2.txt	./txt/cord-261980-bm0benu2.txt
