Reports missed activation of stroke codes by EMS, suggesting improved training could optimize patient outcomes.
Most acute neurological patients who qualify for SC activation are accurately identified by EMS. However, a substantial proportion of patients are missed, leading to treatment delays. Enhancing the capacity of EMS to recognize the clinical heterogeneity of stroke presentations is essential for prompt SC activation and optimizing patient outcomes.
