Study Finds That EMS Activation of Stroke Cases Using Pulsara Stop Stroke Is Associated With Faster Treatment Times Than Activation in the Emergency Department
April 24, 2017
Bozeman, MT — Duke University School of Medicine researchers found that patients with stroke received faster treatment when emergency medical services (EMS) activated the stroke team from the field than patients who presented by other methods of arrival.
The researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of 12 major medical centers that used Pulsara’s Stop Stroke, a mobile application that allows EMS transporting a stroke patient to notify emergency department staff and stroke specialists with the tap of a button on a smart phone. Using data from March 2013 to May 2016, they found cases activated ...

Prospective assessment of patients with stroke in Tikur Anbessa Specialised Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
This study aimed to describe risk factors for stroke and clinical presentation of patients presenting to the emergency centre with stroke. Methods We conducted a cross sectional study conducted from August 2015 to January 2016 in an urban tertiary care centre in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations between stroke types and stroke risk factors, and delayed presentation and clinical indicators. P-values less than .05 were considered statistically significant. Results A total of 104 patients were included. The mean age was 53 years, and...

A case-control analysis of stroke in Covid-19 patients: Results of Unusual Manifestations of Covid-19-Study 11
CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of stroke in COVID-19 patients presenting to EDs was lower than in the non-COVID-19 reference sample. COVID-19 patients with stroke had greater need for hospitalization and ICU admission than those without stroke, and longer hospitalization and greater in-hospital mortality than non-COVID-19 patients with stroke.PMID:34490961 | DOI:10.1111/acem.14389

HINTS Outperforms ABCD2 to Screen for Stroke in Acute Continuous Vertigo and Dizziness.
CONCLUSIONS: HINTS substantially outperforms ABCD2 for stroke diagnosis in ED patients with AVS. It also outperforms MRI obtained within the first 2 days after symptom onset. While HINTS testing has traditionally been performed by specialists, methods for empowering emergency physicians (EPs) to leverage this approach for stroke screening in dizziness should be investigated.

The Usefulness of the Kurashiki Prehospital Stroke Scale in Identifying Thrombolytic Candidates in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Patients with acute ischemic stroke should be rapidly triaged to a stroke center with the highest quality of stroke care to assess the severity of a stroke within an appropriate time. However, the important information about the severity of a stroke cannot be provided by widely used prehospital stroke scales. The Kurashiki prehospital stroke scale (KPSS) was constructed using four metrics, including level of consciousness, disturbance of consciousness, motor weakness, and language, with total scores ranging from 0 to 13. The maximum of 13 points represented the most severe symptoms. The KPSS was developed in 2008 to assess...

A Paradigm Shift in EMS Evaluation Of Stroke
BackgroundMontgomery County Hospital District EMS (MCHD) is collaborating with the South East Texas Regional Advisory Committee (SETRAC) to validate their existing prehospital suspected neurological event guideline for stroke assessment and transport.MCHD is a non-fire based EMS service in Montgomery County, Texas. We respond to approximately 58,000 calls to service and identify stroke in more than 500 patients per year. Our EMS system covers an estimated 1,100-square-mile service area and has 190 medics, 900 EMTs and 15 first responder (FR) organizations.Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a debilitating and costly disease wit...
