In this Friday’s PCT Grand Rounds session, Dr. James Grotta of Memorial Hermann Hospital-Texas Medical Center will present “Benefits of Stroke Treatment Delivered Using a Mobile Stroke Unit Compared to Standard Management by Emergency Medical Services: The BEST-MSU Study.”

The BEST-MSU study, supported by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), examined the effectiveness of prehospital diagnosis and treatment of patients with stroke symptoms using a mobile stroke unit with subsequent transfer to a comprehensive stroke center emergency department (CSC ED) for further management, compared with standard prehospital triage and transport by emergency medical services to a CSC ED for evaluation and treatment.

The Grand Rounds session will be held on Friday, November 5, at 1:00 pm eastern. Join the online meeting.
