Evaluation of pre- and in-hospital workflows and time intervals with acute ischemic stroke patients
The presence of vertigo as a symptom poses challenges to identification by EMS. Pre-hospital OST meets national targets, but EMS workflows could be optimized to reduce OST and thereby positively influence patient outcome. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions in EMS protocols to improve stroke care outcomes.
