EMS Research with Professor Bram

When every second counts in a medical emergency like a stroke, deciding on the right course of treatment can be life-changing. Strokes come in two main types—ischemic and hemorrhagic—each requiring very different treatment approaches. But what if a critical intervention, like lowering blood pressure, could be started right there in the ambulance? Could it improve outcomes for stroke patients before they even reach the hospital? Joining the discussion Paramedic Mic Gunderson, and Neurologist David Rose, offer a specialist’s perspective on stroke care. Together, they dissect groundbreaking research and share practical strategies that could transform how strokes are treated in the field. If you’re curious about how ambulances might soon deliver life-saving interventions en route to the ER, don’t miss this episode. Tune in now to gain valuable insights into a topic that could redefine prehospital care.
