Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Diagnostic test
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
This study aims to investigate whether a live stream video between the on-call neurologist and the emergency medical technicians can increase feasibility and performance of symptom-based prehospital stroke scales.

Treatments
No_intervention: Standard Care
If the patient is eligible for study inclusion, eight symptoms from the study protocol are evaluated and registered in the Prehospital Patient Journal (PPJ) on the amPHITM Prehospital Health Care Record (Amphi Systems, Hasserisvej 125, 9000 Aalborg, Denmark), on a tablet mounted in each EMT vehicle. If the vehicle is in the control arm the patient is triaged by the on-call neurologist based on a standard telephone call
Active_comparator: Video call assisted assessment of acute stroke
If the patient is eligible for study inclusion, the last symptoms from the study protocol are evaluated and registered in the Prehospital Patient Journal (PPJ) on the amPHITM Prehospital Health Care Record (Amphi Systems, Hasserisvej 125, 9000 Aalborg, Denmark), on a tablet mounted in each EMT vehicle. Afterwards the EMS personnel will contact the on-call neurologist and if the vehicle is in the intervention arm a live video stream is initiated. The on-call neurologist then examines the patient via the video-call and triage the patient.
