Transforming stroke care with a mobile stroke unitHow to support improved patient outcomes and greater access to care
The quality of stroke care is dependent on decreasing the time from symptom onset to diagnosis and treatment. That is why many providers are turning to Mobile Stroke Units (MSUs) to improve outcomes for their patients.
MSUs are specialized ambulances equipped with a team of stroke care professionals and advanced technologies like CT imaging, telemedicine, and a point-of-care lab. The 2026 American Heart Association/American Stroke Association Guideline for the Early Management of Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke now includes recommendations related to the implementation of MSUs.¹
