Scientists at Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC-Q) have discovered that mobile emergency rooms equipped with CT scanning equipment and drugs that prevent blood clotting can prevent many strokes and increase the survival rate of people with strokes. The research was published in the journal Annals of Neurology.
Using data from high-quality studies from 2014 to 2020, the authors of the new paper analyzed data from 1,009 patients with suspected stroke: 644 who received clot-busting medication (tissue plasminogen activator) in a mobile emergency room and 365 in the hospital. was used. . Patients received care an average of 87 minutes after the onset of stroke symptoms.
Patients coming to the mobile emergency department were treated an average of 37 minutes faster, preventing more strokes in this group. The best results were observed in patients who received care within the first 45 minutes after the onset of symptoms.
Scientists say the study shows the importance of providing rapid assistance by mobile medical units in case of suspected stroke.
