ANT Neuro Webinar - Triage of Stroke Patients in the Ambulance with EEG

Presented by Dr. Wouter Potters.
Millions of people suffer a stroke each year. Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) dramatically improves prognosis after stroke, but only if done rapidly. Since EVT is performed in specialized hospitals only, there is an unmet clinical need to identify stroke patients eligible for EVT in the ambulance. Bringing such patients straight to an EVT hospital improves prognosis. Unfortunately, no triage instrument for the hyperacute phase of stroke is available. With the EEG setup presented in this webinar, paramedics could triage stroke patients and reduce the time to therapy.
