Is prehospital supplemental oxygen effective for acute stroke?
Dr. Dylla and colleagues [1] performed a well-conducted cohort study concerning the efficacy and safety of prehospital supplemental oxygen for acute stroke. Despite the essential information provided, several issues must be resolved to draw confirmed conclusions.

The prognostic value of routine coagulation tests for patients with heat stroke
To evaluate the prognostic value of routine coagulation tests for patients with heat stroke.

Prehospital oxygen for stroke victims
It was of great interest to read Dr. Dylla and colleagues' well-done retrospective cohort study investigating prehospital oxygen treatment in acute stroke patients [1]. It was also very informative to read Dr. Zhang's review [2] and the authors' response [3].

Does prolonged emergency department length of stay(EDLOS) affect the outcomes of acute ischemic stroke patients?
The effect of emergency department length of stay (EDLOS) on outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains largely unexamined. We aimed to investigate the association between EDLOS and outcomes in AIS patients.

Impact of creatinine screening on contrast-induced nephropathy following computerized tomography for stroke
This study sought to evaluate rates of acute kidney injury in patients undergoing contrast-enhanced computerized tomography for acute stroke in the emergency department (ED) before and after the cessation of creatinine screening.

Inter-facility transfer for patients with acute large vessel occlusion stroke receiving mechanical thrombectomy
Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is the preferred treatment for large vessel occlusion (LVO) ischemic stroke, and neurological outcome improves with earlier treatment. Patients with LVO frequently require inter-facility transfer to access MT but delays at transferring EDs may worsen neurological outcomes.

Language preference does not influence stroke patients' symptom recognition or emergency care time metrics
Our objective was to determine whether acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients' language preference is associated with differences in time from symptom discovery to hospital arrival, activation of emergency medical services, door-to-imaging time (DTI), and door-to-needle (DTN) time.

Risk factors for acute stroke-associated pneumonia and prediction of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios
This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) and assess the predictive effect of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on acute SAP.

Effect of COVID19 on prehospital pronouncements and ED visits for stroke and myocardial infarction
In this study, our goal was to determine if there was an increase in prehospital ALS pronouncements and a decrease in ED visits for potentially serious conditions such as MI and stroke during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in northern NJ.

Simultaneous thrombosis of 2 vascular territories: is thrombolytic therapy a better option?
We have read with great interest the article by Akyuz and colleagues in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine and congratulate them for their observation. Their case exemplifies the concurrent occurrence of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and posterior circulation stroke that was eventually managed with thrombolytic therapy. Simultaneous thrombosis of 2 distant vascular territories is a rare and complicated clinical scenario. In these instances, there is usually an underlying cause linking both thrombotic events rather than being a mere coincidence. We have previously described the myocardial infarc...

Tissue plasminogen activator for transient ischemic attack: the case for “off-label” use of thrombolytics
We describe an illustrative case of a patient with recurring middle cerebral artery (MCA) ischemia, where our risk benefit analysis led to the administration of thrombolytic therapy despite the patient’s score of 0 on the National Institute of Health Stroke Score (NIHSS).

Cerebral Oximetry with Cerebral Blood Volume Index (CBVI) in detecting Pediatric Strokes in a Pediatric Emergency Department
Despite pediatric stroke awareness and Pediatric Stroke Activation systems, recognition and imaging delays along with activation inconsistency still occurs. Reliable objective pediatric stroke detection tool are needed to improve detection and activations. Cerebral rcSO2 with cerebral blood volume index (CBVI) can detect abnormal cerebral physiology.
