Emergency Medical Services (EMS) professionals are often the first responders in a stroke emergency, so it is important that EMS provide optimal pre-hospital stroke management. The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) has recommended guidelines for EMS in the management of stroke, which includes the proper identification of stroke symptoms and prompt transport to the nearest stroke-ready facility.1
