An educational intervention allows for greater prehospital recognition of acute stroke
We performed a study to determine whether a brief educational intervention directed at pre-hospital providers would increase the identification of stroke victims in the pre-hospital setting. The purpose of this IRB approved, before-and-after research project was to determine whether the implementation of Advanced Stroke Life Support Class (ASLS) [1] training for pre-hospital providers would lead to improved field identification of stroke.

I Saved A Life And Training Made The Difference
By Christiana Adams
I saved a life.
I never thought it would happen to me, but it did. And, thanks to the great education process at Salem Health, I was prepared and confident to step in and assist.
I’m employed at Salem Health in Salem, Oregon, as an emergency department technician in the Emergency Department and provide direct patient care.
At the time of the incident, I was a unit assistant in Labor and Delivery and typically didn’t work with patients. I was, however, still required to complete CPR training, something for which I give Salem Health a lot of credit. In fact, I had just completed a new type of...

Delirium in the acute phase after stroke: comparison between methods of detection
AbstractDelirium is an acute neuropsychiatric syndrome, very common in hospitalized people with medical and neurological conditions. The identification of delirium after stroke is not an easy task and validated psychometric instruments are needed to correctly identify it. We decided to verify if (1) formal training in DSM-V criteria is needed to correctly identify post-stroke delirium, (2) if the use of a brief psychometric instrument such as 4AT improves its identification, (3) the applicability of these scales in the stroke setting. In the first phase of this study we retrospectively studied 102 acute stroke patients in ...

Telemedizin: „TEMPiS“-Netzwerk für Schlaganfallbehandlung in der Regelversorgung.
Abstract
Despite all efforts that have been made stroke is a burden and remains one of the most devastating neurological diseases. Treatment of patients on a Stroke Unit improves stroke prognosis and is recommended for all patients with acute stroke. In rural areas population-wide implementation of Stroke Units is extremely challenging. Therefore the Telemedical Project for integrated Stroke Care (TEMPiS) was established in 2003 as a TeleStroke network to overcome this barrier in Southeast Bavaria/Germany. TEMPiS was one of the very early telemedical stroke networks worldwide and was evaluated intensively during i...

Improving Systems of Care in Time-Sensitive Emergencies
This report paved the way for modern EMS by recommending the creation of standards for ambulance services, training and oversight in prehospital medicine.1
Legendary physician R Adams Cowley is credited with creating and popularizing the concept of a "golden hour" in trauma, underscoring the need for coordination from the moment trauma occurs to the time to definitive care. Deficiencies in trauma care were recognized and trauma systems of care were developed with EMS playing a central role.
As EMS evolved, so did the need to include EMS when developing systems of care for other time-sensitive emergencies. Cardiov...

Cutting the Prehospital On-Scene Time of Stroke Thrombolysis in Helsinki Brief Report
Background and Purpose—Significant portion of the prehospital delay consists of minutes spent on the scene with the patient. We implemented a training program for the emergency medical services personnel with the aim to optimize the on-scene time (OST) and to study the impact of different elements of prehospital practice to the OST duration.Methods—In this prospective interventional study, key operational emergency medical service performance variables were analyzed from all thrombolysis candidates transported to the Helsinki University Hospital emergency department. The catchment period was 4 months before and 4 month...
