    <title language="eng">Prehospital stroke education in paramedics</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Background  and  aims:  &#13;
Rapid pre-hospital identification of  stroke  symptoms  result  in  therapy  directed  admission  to dedicated stroke units. Widespread application of stroke scales reveal high sensitivity but low specificity, especially in non-academic first aid personal. In our previous work we show that prehospital stroke diagnostics based on neurolo-gical examination and transcranial color-coded Duplex so-nography (TCCS) is feasible and results in high sensitivity and specificity for middle cerebral artery / distal internal carotid artery occlusion. The aim of our ongoing study is to design and evaluate a dedicated stroke educational program for paramedics including transcranial ultrasound. This is a prerequisite  for  a  telemedical  decision  support  system  in  the absence of stroke experienced emergency doctors.&#13;
&#13;
Methods: &#13;
We currently educate 6 paramedics in advanced stroke neurology and also transcranial ultrasound examina-tion during a course of 2 months. The web-based curricu-lum was designed in two parts. The first was theoretical and the second will be the real-life training under neurological supervision. For final assessment of the theoretical know-ledge a control group will be implemented without specific stroke expertise. The stroke-educated paramedics will have to  assist  stroke  investigation,  perform  pre-hospital  TCCS  and enter the date in a mobile telestroke pad. The data set will be send to an in-hospital stroke physician. We will as-sess the mean time to reach the diagnostic assessment, its sensitivity and specificity and the patient outcome after 30 days.   &#13;
&#13;
Results: &#13;
Our study is ongoing&#13;
&#13;
Conclusion: &#13;
The study just reach the 2 part and we will be glad to present our data on the meeting EAN 2015. &#13;
