Helicopter stroke rescue: new treatment aims to save brain during flight
NCT ID NCT03481205
Summary
This study tests whether a special blood pressure cuff treatment can be safely given to stroke patients during helicopter transport to a specialized hospital. The treatment involves inflating cuffs on the arms or legs in cycles to potentially protect brain tissue during the flight. Researchers want to see if medical crews can reliably perform this procedure while transporting patients who need emergency stroke surgery.
