Portable device detects severe stroke in seconds with 92 percent accuracy
(Medical University of South Carolina) In results published online on March 6, 2018, in the Journal of Neurointerventional Surgery, clinical investigators at the Medical University of South Carolina, Mount Sinai, the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center and elsewhere describe a new visor-like device that detects emergent large-vessel occlusion with 92 percent accuracy. In such cases, emergency medical personnel transfer patients directly to a comprehensive stroke center, routing around less-equipped hospitals and saving valuable time in the process.
