Prehospital Response and Emergency Stroke Transport Optimisation

Prehospital Response and Emergency Stroke Transport Optimisation: A Multicentre, Stepped-Wedge Cluster-Randomized Clinical Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Oct 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study aims to develop and evaluate an innovative prehospital emergency transport system for patients with acute ischemic stroke to reduce delays in reperfusion treatment. The system integrates artificial intelligence-based prehospital stroke assessment, selected examinations and blood collection in the ambulance, and real-time information sharing between emergency medical services and the receiving hospital. Its effectiveness will be evaluated in a multicenter, stepped-wedge cluster randomized controlled trial comparing the innovative system with standard prehospital care. The primary outcome is the time from hospital arrival to intravenous thrombolysis.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Other illness

  • 1\. Hospitals participating in other research projects aimed at improving pre-hospital emergency processes or stroke thrombolysis treatment.

Other

  • Hospitals:
  • Patients:
  • Patients who arrive at the hospital spontaneously (self-presentation).
