Clinical Trial: Clinical Evaluation of EEG Device for the Triage of Stroke Patients in the Ambulance

U.S., March 13 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06871969) titled 'Clinical Evaluation of EEG Device for the Triage of Stroke Patients in the Ambulance' on Feb. 27.

Since ambulance personnel cannot determine if a patient is eligible for EVT, 54% of LVO stroke patients are initially taken to non-EVT-capable hospitals, resulting in an average delay of 1 hour in time-to-EVT in the Netherlands.
