A new study shows that using emergency helicopter ambulance services to transfer a patient to a hospital that can perform a stroke thrombectomy--a minimally invasive surgery which removes the blood clot in the brain causing the stroke--ensures faster access to potentially life-saving care.

Use of mobile stroke units improves clinical outcomes
(Charit é - Universit ä tsmedizin Berlin) STEMOs have been serving Berlin for ten years. The specialized stroke emergency response vehicles allow physicians to start treating stroke patients before they reach hospital. For the first time, a team of researchers from Charit é - Universit ä tsmedizin Berlin has been able to show that the dispatch of mobile stroke units is linked to improved clinical outcomes. The researchers' findings, which show that patients for whom STEMOs were dispatched were more likely to survive without long-term disability, have been published in JAMA*.
