Not All Strokes Are Created Equal: LVO Recognition and Transport Decisions for Prehospital Providers

Not All Strokes Are Created Equal: LVO Recognition and Transport Decisions for Prehospital Providers

Prehospital stroke care continues to evolve. Over the past five years, mechanical thrombectomy has emerged as the preferred treatment option for patients presenting with large vessel occlusion strokes. EMS agencies are now being challenged to recognize large vessel occlusions on-scene and consider direct transport to comprehensive stroke centers for mechanical thrombectomy.

In our upcoming webcast, hosted by JEMS, we will review the current paradigm of prehospital stroke care, review the growing body of literature evaluating prehospital stroke severity tools, and discuss the numerous items affecting transport decisions.
