RECRUITING

Optimizing the Prehospital Use of Stroke Systems of Care-Reacting to Changing Paradigms-Implementation (OPUS-i)

Description

This interventional trial will compare a novel prehospital stroke transport algorithm (OPUS-i) to a traditional prehospital stroke transport algorithm to improve outcomes in rural stroke patients by determining the effect of implementing a data-driven prehospital stroke algorithm on time to and endovascular therapy. The study consists of a multicenter cohort and will last 24 months but individual subject study duration is 90 days.
