First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new set of procedures called the HI-SPEED Protocol, designed to help hospitals evaluate stroke patients faster and decide who needs to be transferred for advanced care. The goal is to reduce the time patients spend in the first hospital before being moved to a specialized stroke center. Researchers will enroll 900 adults with acute stroke to see if the protocol improves transfer times and patient outcomes.
