E-058 Pilot Study: Feasibility of the Use of Ventura Emergency Large Vessel Occlusion Scale to Identify Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke
ObjectivesTo evaluate the feasibility and reliability of a self-designed Ventura Emergency Large Vessel Occlusion (ELVO) Scale performed by Emergency Medical Services (EMS). To identify, if field identification of ELVO, reduces door to groin time.BackgroundEndovascular treatment of stroke is now the standard of care for large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke within 6 hours of onset.
