Clinical features and novel technologies for prehospital detection of intracerebral haemorrhage: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The detection of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in the prehospital setting without conventional imaging technology might allow early treatment to reduce haematoma expansion and improve patient outcomes. Although ICH and ischaemic stroke share many clinical features, some may help in distinguishing ICH from other suspected stroke patients. In combination with clinical features, novel technologies may improve diagnosis further. This scoping review aims to first identify the early, distinguishing clinical features of ICH and then identify novel portable technologies that may enhance differentiation of ICH from other suspected strokes. Where appropriate and feasible, meta-analyses will be performed.

Methods

The scoping review will follow the recommendations of the
