This study aimed to: (1) understand the details of the communication between the caller and dispatcher among the calls for stroke patients, (2) identify factors associated with stroke recognition by dispatchers, and (3) evaluate the association between stroke recognition by dispatchers and stroke management. Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study involving patients with stroke or transient ischemic stroke transported by the emergency medical service, and arriving at 9 hospitals in Taipei within 3 h of symptom onset from January 1, 2013 to February 28, 2014. Patients were excluded if tape-recording data or prehospital information were not available. Data of the enrolled patients were reviewed. We used stroke dispatch determination as the surrogate for stroke recognition by dispatchers. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify the factors associated with stroke dispatch determination. Results: A total of 507 patients were included. In approximately 50% of cases, callers were close family members. Ninety-one patients (17.9%) had stroke dispatch determination. After adjustment, stroke reported spontaneously, any symptom included in the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale reported spontaneously, and dispatcher adherence to the protocol, were associated with stroke dispatch determination significantly. Stroke dispatch determination was associated with receiving pre-arrival notification, shorter door-to-computed tomography time, and thrombolytic therapy. Conclusion: The dispatchers should spend more time identifying stroke patients by following the dispatch protocol. Recognition of stroke by dispatchers was associated with improved stroke care. ? 2017 |
