RESULTS: The adapted protocol has 3 categories of Acute monitoring (neurological observations, blood pressure and input-output monitoring, investigations and specific post-reperfusion issues), Stroke complications (focusing on 5 common complications) and Unified team (describing daily check-ins, patient education, communication, discharge planning and post-discharge support). Most hospitals have staff deployed outside their usual workplaces to cover emergency, isolation and screening services therefore disbanding the acute stroke unit team of multi-professional healthcare providers. An interprofessional team with medical, nursing and allied health backgrounds at the Singapore General Hospital developed an adapted ASU protocol that was easy to use and ensured that the key elements the acute stroke unit are maintained.	./cache/cord-315162-v3g6eios.txt	./txt/cord-315162-v3g6eios.txt
