Today, I got to visit one of the coolest ambulances in the entire world!!
This is University of Cincinnati's Mobile Stroke Unit! Located just north of Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.A., and is a part of UC Air Care & Mobile Care's fleet which also includes BLS and ALS ambulances, mobile ICUs, and of course, their fleet of Airbus EC145e helicopters! This is just one part of the full Air Care and Mobile Care resource that the University of Cincinnati provides to southern part of Ohio...Come check it out!

Grady Memorial in ATL has had one since 2018 and has the ability to administer clot busters with remote neurologist orders. It was an awesome addition to the fleet.

[@TheDrMedic]

Oh that's excellent!!

[@RenegadeChauffeur]

I got to see it the day it went into service. It’s a VERY impressive rig.

[@TJ-nh1fc]

I survived 2 strokes. The TPA saved me.

[@PfizerRN_USNavyReserveRN]

FYI. I’m one of those Research techies, too. With three Doctorates (Nursing, Epidemiology, Public Health) plus “playtime” per diem as SCTU Critical Care Transport Nurse and Flight Nurse. Grady Memorial in Atlanta has had Mobile Stroke Unit since 25 June 2018. University of Colorado Health in Colorado Spring has had one since Valentine’s Day 2024. Good videos. Keep them coming.

It's cool U.C health got one, tho couldn't have been done at a worse time for EMS that rely on them.

[@PfizerRN_USNavyReserveRN]

@@sterlingodeaghaidh5086Why? Same way that time is muscle for an AMI, time is brain for CVA. Getting tenecteplase (TNK) in early reduces Rehab time by 200% with 28% decrease in disability at 90 days. That’s from my Spouse who was Asst VP & Nurse Administrator for Brain & Spinal Cord Center at Jefferson in Philadelphia.

[@sterlingodeaghaidh5086]

@@PfizerRN_USNavyReserveRN oh no its not the ct thats the issue, its UC health. From a health care level they are amazing and its great they got this. However from a beaurocratic aspect they have put rural EMS agencies in a bind lately. Agencies like mine rely on U.C health, rather relied, on them for C.E training and medical direction. Recently they have decided to stop that, recently they decided to no longer keep track of C.E hours as well as put the possibility of instructors coming to our areas to do trainings at risk while simultaneously LOOSING our CE hours we have acrued over the year, I had about 15-20 hours prior but I'm down to 8 because they never handed their records over to us. Our medical director who is an amazing guy, but he quit U.C health due to their new CEO and other reasons, this is on top of recent things on the state level (switching to state licensing bringing requirements that more rural agencies cant meet, the government deeming EMS non essential, etc...) its been hard for us. I am glad we have the resource out here, but its just one good thing in a grim outlook.

Pretty cool piece of equipment if it helps save even one life it’s definitely worth it!! 🚑

[@TheDrMedic]

You got that right!

[@MrTylerStricker]

So cool! Staggering to see that kind of tech on wheels

[@edell1200]

Colorado just got theirs a few months ago so it is brand new

[@TheDrMedic]

Oh excellent!

[@johnjamison6082]

That is an amazing ambulance!

[@justoutoftime511]

Shands hosp. in Gainesville, Fl has one stroke unit.

[@TheDrMedic]

Yes! Excellent! Shands has a wonderful system for sure🤙🤙

[@scottmills454]

Love that drone intro

[@TheDrMedic]

Trying to get better every day!

[@jeremyfisher8782]

I wish I would have known you were at UC .... they are the best of the best. Watched the helicopter take off 100s of days. My Dad, Mom and I have spent many a day there over the past 20+ years.

[@wiz_techno6656]

i've done a third rider in this before! coolest thing ever

[@nickschuster7618]

Fun fact EMS, fire, and police vehicles fall under a different EPA category which allows them to run even when a normal commercial vehicle would cause derates etc. They have different parameters that are only allowed on this type of equipment that fall within this field for obvious reasons.

[@ER_GUY]

Edmonton, AB Canada-has had a stroke unit for 10-12 years

[@Objectified]

And UT Health at Houston has had one for 12 years. The video isn't saying this is the first MSU in America.

[@Lucyblacklab]

I work for a department in Hamilton county iv used MSU1 several times it is awesome and saved couple of the patients i had

[@JoelBulger]

That's neat

[@Unknown_Ooh]

How many strokes happen annually in a 10-15 minute response area to outfit an ambulance with a CT? It's not like someone having a stroke who's 20-30+ minutes away is waiting on a specialized unit. I do love the concept and got to see one in person at a fire expo, and they're really cool to check out.

[@t.j.miller6826]

As a critical care/ER nurse and NREMT-P since 1987 it isn't the radius to an ER but the distance to a certified stroke center, coupled with the time factor of how long did the patient wait before calling for an ambulance. Many studies show that most of the time patients have before permanent damage is caused is used up because they waited to call 911. Therefore bringing definitive care to them saves brain. Plus not every hospital is qualified to treat a stroke properly, just like not every hospital is a trauma center or a burn center. Pre-hospital care is bringing the right resources to the right patient and then transporting that patient to the proper facility (even if it isn't the facility closest or the one they desire) if it will involve a better outcome.

[@RenegadeChauffeur]

Chicago has one, based out of Rush Health. It’s very impressive. Memphis has one as well.

[@janbielefeld3112]

Berlin in germany has 3 MSU's. IT called STEMO -> Stroke Einsatz Mobil

[@TheDrMedic]

Oh most excellent!

[@iitylerz_law]

That's my local township, I've seen the inside and talked with some of the paramedics.

[@ER_GUY]

Best line ever; place to hold your lighter in case you needed a smoke !

[@04smallmj]

Great unit, but why did they decide on such a dark colour?

[@FedSigforlife]

It needs a Q2B lol

[@backpages1]

Excellent review! I guess gone are the days of the Cadillac hearse and ‘snatch ‘n run’ (but I got pictures!) what will they think of next!

[@TheDrMedic]

Thanks!

[@dennisbethards3231]

Will not be dependable as the d e f system will always have problems

[@GrammarPoliceInvestigations]

Emergency vehicles should be exempt from exhaust aftertreatment systems. God forbid the system fails while transporting a patient or responding.

[@ImApringle]

your cameras autofocus isnt great. cool video though

[@vadimbanner2024]

Frazier built IT

[@johnrossman6679]

The downside is the cost to those that need this in medical bills.

[@JoelBulger]

why are you touching everything

[@chadrogers934]

since that chassis is an emergency services vehicle it can legally be deleted of the DEF system, which is a wise move.

[@justingarret4776]

as I watching I was thinking it was crazy there wasn't some sort of exception for them.

[@chadrogers934]

@@justingarret4776 a tually any emergency vehicle is exempt

Hi there, I have a memory problem. I was wondering if you need my help to fix my brain. I am still dreaming about Jennifer Driggers. I haven’t see her for three decades now. I have go back in time. I can’t stop dreaming about Jennifer Driggers. I love her so much. Do I need an MRI? I have brain problems. I still can’t lose my mind about her. So I need your help.

[@wyowes6090]

Sorry. A huge waste of money. Load and go. The cost/reward benefit doesn't work out.

😳😳

[@Lucyblacklab]

I have to disagree I have used MSU1 for a couple of critical head bleeds and strokes the gave TPA on scene within minutes of arrival and saved the patients instead of going all the way to UC taking 20 minutes before hitting the ER any taking more time to scan and getting medication to the patient

[@AlbertaRancher]

As someone who life was saved by a stroke ambulance in Alberta Canada, they are without a doubt worth every penny. I do feel sorry for areas who do not have access to this technology.
