Importance In nonurban areas with limited access to thrombectomy-capable centers, optimal
prehospital transport strategies in patients with suspected large-vessel occlusion stroke are …

Background Due to the time-sensitive effect of endovascular treatment, rapid prehospital
identification of large-vessel occlusion in individuals with suspected stroke is essential to …

Importance The efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for symptomatic large anterior
vessel occlusion (sLAVO) sharply decreases with time. Because EVT is restricted to …

Background: Increasing evidence suggests improved time metrics leading to better clinical
outcomes when stroke patients with suspected large vessel occlusion (LVO) are transferred …

Importance Prehospital transfer protocols are based on rapid access to reperfusion
therapies for patients with ischemic stroke. The effect of different protocols among patients …

Purpose of the Review This article reviews prehospital organization in the treatment of acute
stroke. Rapid access to an endovascular therapy (EVT) capable center and prehospital …

The safety and efficacy of mobile stroke units (MSUs) in prehospital stroke management has
recently been investigated in different clinical studies. MSUs are ambulances equipped with …

Importance To our knowledge, it is unknown whether a prehospital stroke triage system
combining symptom severity and teleconsultation could accurately select patients for …

Background and Purpose—Patients with acute ischemic stroke who have large vessel
occlusion benefit from direct transport to a comprehensive stroke center (CSC) capable of …

Background Data on the implementation of prehospital large vessel occlusion (LVO) scales
to identify and triage patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in the field are limited, with the …
