RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Delays to endovascular therapy (EVT) for stroke may be mitigated with direct field triage to EVT centers. We sought to compare times to treatment over a 5.5 year span between two adjacent states, one with field triage and one without, served by a single comprehensive stroke center (CSC). METHODS: During the study period, one of the two states implemented severity-based triage for suspected emergent large vessel occlusion, while in the other state, patients were transported to the closest hospital regardless of severity. We compared times to treatment and clinical outcomes between these two states. We also performed a matched pairs analysis, matching on date treated and distance from field to CSC. RESULTS: 639 patients met the inclusion criteria, 407 in State 1 (with field triage) and 232 in State 2 (without field triage). In State 1, scene to EVT decreased 6% (or 8.13 min, p=0.0004) every year but no decrease was observed for State 2 (<1%, p=0.94). Cumulatively over 5.5 years, there was a reduction of 43 min in time to EVT in State 1, but no change in State 2. Lower rates of disability were seen in State 1, both for the entire cohort (all OR 1.22, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.40, p=0.0032) and for those independent at baseline (1.36, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.59, p=0.0003). CONCLUSIONS: Comparing adjacent states over time, the implementation of severity-based field triage significantly reduced time to EVT.

RESUMO

A routine call for a common medical emergency was expeditiously identified by the responding emergency medical service as a multiple victim carbon monoxide exposure. The event circumstances, exemplary fire department emergency medical services response, and ensuing hos- pital emergency department response are described.
