Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on prehospital emergency care for adults with stroke and transient ischaemic attack: A systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsOur review indicates that prehospital delays for suspected stroke/TIA increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, emergency call volume for suspected stroke/TIA decreased during this period. In order to minimise delays in future pandemics or other health care emergencies future research may involve understanding the potential reasons for these delays.PMID:37261801 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2023.2219729

Prehospital stroke triage: a modeling study on the impact of triage tools in different regions
CONCLUSIONS: In this modeling study, we showed that prehospital triage reduced time to EVT without disproportionate IVT delay, compared to a drip-and-ship strategy. The effect of triage strategies and the associated overtriage varied between regions. Implementation of prehospital triage should therefore be considered on a regional level.PMID:37219931 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2023.2215859

Immersive Cooling in the Prehospital Setting for Heat Stroke: A Case Report
Prehosp Emerg Care. 2023 Apr 11:1-5. doi: 10.1080/10903127.2023.2201515. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNon-exertional heat stroke is defined as exposure to high outdoor temperatures, core body temperature >40 °C, and alteration of mentation. Early identification and treatment are imperative to reduce morbidity and mortality in these patients. Cold water immersion therapy is the most efficient and efficacious modality in treating heat stroke, yet it is rarely initiated in the prehospital setting. We outline a case of an 82-year-old man found unconscious outside during a regional heat wave with a temperature >107F. He...
