Video call could speed up stroke care decisions
NCT ID NCT04042584
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a video call between paramedics and a stroke specialist can help decide the right treatment—like clot-busting drugs or clot removal—before the patient arrives at the hospital. About 215 adults with suspected stroke took part. The goal was to see if remote evaluation is accurate enough to guide urgent care.
