What is Effect of an Enhanced Paramedic Acute Stroke Treatment Assessment on Thrombolysis Delivery During Emergency Stroke Care about?
## Key Points ## Question Can hospital stroke thrombolysis treatment rates be increased by an enhanced paramedic assessment that includes additional prehospital information collection, a structured hospital handover, practical assistance after handover, a predeparture care checklist, and clinician feedback? ## Findings In this cluster randomized clinical trial, fewer patients in the intervention group (39.4%) received thrombolysis vs those in the standard care group (44.7%), but there were fewer poor health outcomes (disability or death) after 90 days (intervention group, 64.0% vs standard care group, 66.8%). The results were not statistically significant. ## Meaning This study found that the enhanced paramedic assessment should not be used to increase thrombolysis volume but may influence the quality of treatment decisions.
