Significance of Prehospital 12-Lead Electrocardiogram Transmission ― Trial Utilizing an Established Smartphone Communication Application for Acute Stroke Management ―
Obtaining a 12-lead ECG prior to hospital arrival reduces waiting times for catheter-based treatment. When ambulances and receiving hospitals are connected via a smartphone application, the photo function can facilitate prehospital ECG transmission without additional implementation costs. This approach may represent a novel strategy to improve outcomes for STEMI patients.
