Prospective Evaluation of a Two-Scale Protocol for Prehospital Large Vessel Occlusion Detection
Conclusion: Prehospital administration of the C-STAT was feasible, using a model of minimal paramedic training and real-time telephone guidance. A protocol based on both a CPSS 3/3 and a positive C-STAT would decrease CSC redirected patient volume by one-third but would miss one-quarter of LVO strokes when compared to a CPSS-based protocol.PMID:33689555 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2021.1901164
