Views of Paramedics on Their Role in an Out-of-Hospital Ambulance-Based Trial in Ultra-Acute Stroke: Qualitative Data From the Rapid Intervention With Glyceryl Trinitrate in Hypertensive Stroke Trial (RIGHT)

摘要

Study objective: Optimal practices for recruiting, consenting, and randomizing patients, and delivering treatment in out-of-hospital ultra-acute stroke trials, remain unclear. We aim to identify key barriers and facilitators relevant to the design and conduct of ambulance-based stroke trials and to formulate preliminary recommendations for the design of future trials.
