NCT04784936

Brief Summary

A study to investigate how stroke is identified and whether FAST, face-arm-speech test, is used in the emergency medical dispatch centre in Stockholm. The study will also investigate when FAST is used, does it increase the identification of stroke? And if other factors can be identified as "markers" for more effective identification of stroke during the emergency call.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Frequency of stroke symptoms

    A data collection tool assessing the frequency of stroke symptoms will be developed. The data collection tool will identify stroke symptoms presented by the caller during emergency calls and assess stroke symptoms in the Face-Arm-Speech-Time Test (FAST). Stroke symptoms will then be quantified into percentages for a descriptive analysis.
