Paramedic perspectives on barriers to prehospital acute stroke recognition.
The researchers aimed to understand systematically the challenges and barriers faced by paramedics in recognizing stroke presentations in the field. They concluded that while challenges to stroke recognition in the field were slightly different for rural and urban emergency medical service providers, participants concurred that timely, systematic feedback on individual patients and case-based training would strengthen early stroke recognition skills.
