Ebinger and coauthors investigated whether starting thrombolysis in a specialized ambulance reduces delays. They assessed time reduction in 1804 patients for whom a Stroke Emergency Mobile was deployed vs 2969 patients in control weeks. In an Editorial, Grotta discusses efforts to improve treatment outcomes for patients with acute ischemic stroke by reducing time from symptom onset to treatment.
