Description
Lisa Shaw and co-authors test a roadside way to spot strokes with a large vessel block, called the PRONTO project. Their conference abstract from 2026 notes that clot removal works well but is done only at regional centers. Many patients lose time in transfer between hospitals, and no sound triage tool exists yet.
Ambulance staff use two finger prick tests that check blood markers for a block and for brain cell harm. They pass the results, plus set clinical facts, to the stroke team in a routine call before arrival. Standard rules then judge if the case looks like a block and if direct travel to a large center fits. The study is still in progress.
