Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

Loss of time is a major obstacle to efficient stroke treatment. Our telestroke path intends to optimize prehospital triage using a video link connecting ambulance personnel and a stroke physician. The objectives were as follows: (1) To identify patients suffering a stroke and (2) in particular large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes as candidates for endovascular treatment. We have chosen the Rapid Arterial Occlusion Evaluation (RACE) scale for this purpose.
