Anterior Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke
Conditions
Keywords
anterior large vessel occlusion stroke, electroencephalography, prehospital triage
Brief summary
This study is designed to evaluate the accuracy of saline electrode EEG in the prehospital diagnosis of LVO-a stroke.
Detailed description
This is a multicenter, prospective, observational study,which will screen a total of 1194 patients in the participating centers during the period of June 1, 2024-December 31, 2025, and record single scalp EEG signals with eyes open at rest in the lying position of the patients using a non-invasive EEG acquisition device, and collect clinical data.
Interventions
Fifty-nine EEG electrodes conforming to international standard points were placed using a saline electrode EEG cap (Gelfree, Prysmian, China), and an accompanying portable multimodal EEG acquisition system (Neurohub, Prysmian, China) was used. EEG data were collected using collect software (Brycon, China).
