Comparative Study
Virtual TeleStroke support for the emergency department evaluation of acute stroke.
Telemedicine-enabled acute stroke consultation (TeleStroke) may be useful to determine eligibility for treatment with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and provide support to emergency departments without on-site stroke expertise. ⋯ TeleStroke videoconferencing can support emergency department-based evaluation of acute stroke and may facilitate tPA delivery in neurologically underserved facilities. A prospective, randomized trial is needed to determine if these systems are superior to traditional telephone consultation.
