Background and Purpose—Prehospital evaluation using telemedicine may accelerate acute
stroke treatment with tissue-type plasminogen activator. We explored the feasibility and …

Background and Purpose—We evaluated the feasibility and the reliability of remote stroke
severity quantification in the prehospital setting using the Unassisted TeleStroke Scale …

Background Inter-hospital teleconsultation improves stroke care. To transfer this concept into
the emergency medical service (EMS), the feasibility and effects of prehospital …

Background Ischemic stroke is a time-sensitive disease, with improved outcomes associated
with decreased time from onset to treatment. It was hypothesised that ambulance-based …

Importance Mobile stroke treatment units (MSTUs) with on-site treatment teams that include
a vascular neurologist can provide thrombolysis in the prehospital setting faster than …

Background and Purpose—Pre-and intrahospital time delays are major concerns in acute
stroke care. Telemedicine-equipped ambulances may improve time management and …

Background: In-ambulance telemedicine is a recently developed and a promising approach
to improve emergency care. We implemented the first ever 24/7 in-ambulance telemedicine …

Objectives: In this 2-center study, we assessed the technical feasibility and reliability of a low
cost, tablet-based mobile telestroke option for ambulance transport and hypothesized that …

Background: Reperfusion is the most effective acute treatment for ischemic stroke within a
narrow therapeutic time window. Ambulance-based telestroke is a novel way to improve …

Background and Purpose—Telemedicine is emerging as a potential timesaving, efficient
means for evaluating patients experiencing acute stroke. In areas where local stroke care …
