Interactive Training of the Emergency Medical Services Improved Prehospital Stroke Recognition and Transport Time

ConclusionsThe interactive EMS training was associated with a robust improvement of stroke recognition, onset to hospital transport time, and a trend of decreased in-hospital mortality. Adapted training strategies may be needed for EMS providers in suburban areas. Future studies should evaluate the long-term effects of the EMS training and identify optimal retraining intervals.
