| dc.description.abstract | Stroke can be a frustrating condition for paramedics as it feels like there is very little they can do to treat a stroke patient. Once paramedics suspect a patient is having a stroke, minimising on-scene time, rapidly transporting the patient and pre-alerting the specialist stroke unit are the best things they can do. Trials of interventions potentially usable by paramedics such as FAST-MAG (Saver et al, 2014) and RIGHT2 (Bath et al, 2019) have failed to demonstrate improvements in patient outcomes and leave paramedics with the same treatment options they had 20 years ago—none.
