Abstract 210: Association of Emergency Medical Services Stroke Protocols with Minimizing On-Scene Time for Stroke Patients [Poster Session II]

Conclusion: Specific scene time limits were associated with EMS crews spending less time at the scene while general instructions were not. These findings suggest that EMS stroke protocols that include specific scene time limits are more likely to reduce on-scene times than those with no or only general instructions.
