Abstract
There have been major advances in prehospital evaluation and care of stroke patients in the past 2 decades. Because about half of patients experiencing stroke arrive to the emergency department (ED) by ambulance, emergency medical service providers are in a unique position to positively affect stroke outcomes. One development of great interest is the implementation of mobile stroke units (MSUs), large ambulances outfitted with mobile CT scanners, point-of-care laboratories, and access to clinical stroke expertise (either in-person or remotely).<sup>1</sup>.
