To evaluate the feasibility of Emergency Medical System (EMS)-performed cPOCUS in the field for diagnosis of acute Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)
With the over-arching goal of achieving early diagnosis of Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) with cPOCUS, this study hypothesizes that (a) Emergency Medical System (EMS) personnel can competently perform cPOCUS in the field in a timely fashion in a large majority of stroke patients; (b) acquired POCUS images can be successfully and securely transmitted for a remote physician interpretation in a timely manner; and (c) cPOCUS will have a greater sensitivity and specificity than clinical scores as a screening tool for ICH identification in pre-hospital settings.

| Cranial Point of Care Ultrasound | Procedure | Cranial ultrasound involves 2-dimensional B mode imaging of the brain parenchyma in the axial plane using a 1-2 MHz probe through the thin temporal bone. Upload of cPOCUS images will occur over DICOM® based Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant platforms accessible via Cloud. Currently all handheld machines use Tricefy® or their own cloud based remote image access application. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Success Rate for cPOCUS Exams | cPOCUS will be attempted and performed on about 1000 patients over 12 months by 30 EMS providers | Year 1 |
