Summary

The ASTRAL trial is a randomized study in patients with suspected stroke in the ambulance setting. The study evaluates whether prehospital telestroke consultation, in addition to standard care, can reduce unnecessary stroke code activations and improve patient triage, treatment efficiency, and resource use. Participants are randomized to telestroke triage plus standard care or standard care alone. Outcomes include unnecessary stroke code activation, patient allocation, treatment times, functional outcome, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
