Optimizing Prehospital Triage for Patients With Stroke Involving Large Vessel Occlusion
The past 20 years have witnessed a revolution in the paradigm of acute ischemic stroke treatment. In 1996, intravenous alteplase was shown to improve outcomes among patients treated within 3 hours of stroke onset. This finding upended the historical therapeutic nihilism about stroke, and with it the leisurely armchair approach to stroke treatment. The concept of so-called acute ischemic stroke emerged. This changed the nature and practice of vascular neurology, created a vigorous and sometimes controversial debate between vascular neurologists and emergency physicians about the merits of alteplase, and paved the way for mo...

By mid-afternoon on August 1, 2017, the temperature in Stockton, Calif. was at least 105 degrees. Thirteen-year-old Jayden Galbert complained to his mother, Shynelle Jones, about the heat, but didn’t want to skip preseason football practice and hurt his chances of making the freshman football team.
