According to a study published online on December 7th at JAMA Neurology, a new mobile stroke treatment device (MSTU) can be used to provide treatment for acute stroke.

In an expected observational study, Ahmed Itrat and his teammates from the Cleveland Clinic tested whether telemedicine was reliable and whether the presence of a remote physician could successfully treat acute stroke with MSTU. Participants in the study were 100 Cleveland residents who used MSTU to evaluate acute stroke-like symptoms. Patients assessed by a vascular neurologist diagnosis via telemedicine way, a neuroradiologist remote evaluation of images obtained by the mobile X-ray computer tomography.

Ninety-nine patients were successfully diagnosed and evaluated by an average of 20 minutes of assessment time. The researchers found that a patient failed due to a staff error and the patient was transferred to the emergency department. Six telemedicine cases have been linked and lost, but none of them lasted longer than 60 seconds or affected clinical treatment. In the MSTU group, the time from the start to the completion of CT and the time from the start to the intravenous thrombolysis were 13 and 32 minutes, respectively, and the time was significantly shortened compared with the control group (18 and 58 minutes). No significant inter-group variability was found for the time of the CY demonstration.

“The application of MSTU for telemedicine is feasible and the technical failure rate is low, which may provide a way to reduce the high cost of such systems,” the authors write.
