Real-world, feasibility study to investigate the use of a multidisciplinary app (Pulsara) to improve prehospital communication and timelines for acute stroke/STEMI care by Joosup Kim, Dominique A Cadilhac, Karen Smith, Ramesh Sahathevan, Stephen Bernard, Dion Stub, Voltaire Nadurata, Ernesto Oqueli, Thomas Kraemer, Chris F Bladin, Kathleen L Bagot, Michelle Vu, Grant Hocking, Tessa Coupland, Debra Pearce, Diane Badcock, Marc Budge, Wayne Pearce, Howard Hall, Ben Kelly, Angie Spencer, Pauline Chapman, Casey Hair

“…ED door-to-first medical review was faster (6(2, 14) vs 23(8, 67); p=0.0001) for stroke but only by 1 min for STEMI (3 (0, 7) vs 4 (0, 14); p=0.25). Door-to-CT times were 44 min faster (27(18, 44) vs 71(43, 147); p=0.0001) for stroke, and percutaneous intervention door-to-balloon times improved by 17 min, but non-significant (56 (34, 88) vs 73 (49, 110); p=0.41) for STEMI. …”
