Video call assisted assessment of acute stroke
If the patient is eligible for study inclusion, eight symptoms from the study protocol are evaluated and registered in the Prehospital Patient Journal (PPJ) on the amPHITM Prehospital Health Care Record (Amphi Systems, Hasserisvej 125, 9000 Aalborg, Denmark), on a tablet mounted in each EMT vehicle. Afterwards, the EMS personnel will contact the on-call neurologist and if the vehicle is in the intervention arm a live video stream is initiated. The on-call neurologist then examines the patient via via the video-call and triages the patient.
