Once a stroke is suspected in the field, it stands to reason that the destination matters for the patient. But how much does it matter and where should patients be taken? Data meets politics in this compelling podcast.
Dr. Jason McMullan, an Emergency Medicine and EMS expert shares his expertise and experience in the diagnosis and transport of stroke patients from the field to the ED. Drawing on years of experience, he talks with Dr. Bill Knight about the nuances of stroke management in the field, training and transport and the challenges that exist to do it well. Not all strokes are the same, not all stroke scales differentiate ICH from LVO; Dr. McMullan shares his insights into what that is actually a good thing.
