NCT07665827

Brief Summary

MSU-ICH is a prospective, multicenter, Week-wise-randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint (PROBE) clinical trial comparing ultra-early prehospital blood pressure lowering delivered by a Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) with standard Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.

Interventions

MSU is a specialized stroke ambulance equipped with point of care lab, CT scanner, Telemedicine, enabling rapid diagnosis and prehospital management of acute stroke. Patients with suspected stroke undergo on-board CT imaging. Those diagnosed with intracerebral hemorrhage receive immediate prehospital blood pressure lowering. A standard treatment regime based on intravenous (IV) bolus of 25mg urapidil administered over 1 minute. For those patients initial systolic blood pressure 180, another 25mg urapidil bolus will be given if the systolic blood pressure level persists \>150 after 5 minutes.

Mobile Stroke Unit Management

A regular ambulance. The standard management by EMS includes Electrocardiographic(ECG)monitoring, blood glucose management, airway, respiration, and blood pressure control, complication management, intravenous access establishment and other emergency measures. Prehospital antihypertensive treatment is administered only in cases of severe hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥220 mmHg), with blood pressure lowering initiated after in-hospital CT confirmation.
