2015 AHA/ASA Guidelines for the Early Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke
Prehospital Stroke Management
Class I |
"1. To increase both the number of patients who are treated and the quality of care, educational stroke
programs for physicians, hospital personnel, and EMS personnel are recommended (Level of Evidence: B)" |
"2. Activation of the 9-1-1 system by patients or other members of the public is strongly recommended. Dispatchers
should make stroke a priority dispatch, and transport times should be minimized. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
"3. Prehospital care providers should use prehospital stroke assessment tools, such as the Los Angeles, Prehospital Stroke Screen or Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale (Level of Evidence: B)" |
"4. EMS personnel should begin the initial management of stroke in the field. Development of a stroke protocol
to be used by EMS personnel is strongly encouraged (Level of Evidence: B)" |
"5. Patients should be transported rapidly to the closest available certified PSC or CSC or, if no such centers
exist, the most appropriate institution that provides emergency stroke care as described in the statement . (Level of Evidence: A)" |
"6. EMS personnel should provide prehospital notification to the receiving hospital that a potential stroke
patient is en route so that the appropriate hospital resources may be mobilized before patient arrival (Level of Evidence: B)" |
