Abstract 90: NIH Stroke Scale Assessment via iPad-based Mobile Telestroke During Ambulance Transport is Feasible - Pilot data from the Improving Treatment with Rapid Evaluation of Acute Stroke via Mobile Telemedecine (iTREAT) Study
Abstract:Introduction:
The AHA-ASA Target:Stroke Program calls for innovative approaches to prehospital stroke care. We previously showed that mobile videoconferencing during ambulance transport is technically feasible in a rural EMS setting using an iPad-based telemedicine system. We now hypothesize that this mobile telestroke system is clinically feasible as measured by agreement of the NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) between face-to-face (FTF) and remote ambulance-based assessments (iTREAT).
