Description
Lucio D'Anna and ten co-authors compare two ambulance routes for stroke patients who need a clot pulled out, in a conference abstract from 2026. In the mothership model, patients go straight to a full stroke center. In drip-and-ship, they get clot-busting drugs at a local hospital first, then transfer.
The analysis pools nineteen studies with more than sixteen thousand patients. Extra delay in the drip-and-ship route steadily cut the odds of living independently at ninety days. Beyond about forty-three minutes of delay, going direct won out. Other outcomes, including bleeding and death, did not differ clearly. The authors advise direct transport when transfer would add a long delay.
