Abstract

Geographical distance significantly delays time to EVT. Use of HEMS markedly shortens transport time leading to timelier EVT for patients with long distances to CSC and has the potential to mitigate regional disparities. Integrating HEMS into stroke transport protocols is essential to ensure timely and equitable EVT access for rural patients.
