Comparison of 5G-Mobile Stroke Unit With Standard EMS for Acute Ischemic Stroke

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Acute Ischemic Stroke

In brief

While Mobile Stroke Units (MSUs) are considered as a relatively new model for acute stroke treatment, 5G Mobile Stroke Units (5G MSUs) have already come into service for stroke treatment in some parts of China. Since limited evidence has been found to suggest their advantages over conventional Emergency Medical Services (EMS), well-conducted clinical studies are required to further assess their effectiveness and safety. This study aims to evaluate whether 5G MSUs outperform standard management (SM) by EMS in terms of functional outcomes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients within 4.5 hours after symptom onset in urban and rural areas of China.
