Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: GTN reduces SBP at 2 hours and seems to be safe in ultra-acute stroke and a larger trial is needed to assess whether GTN improves functional outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determining the feasibility of ambulance-based randomised controlled trials in patients with ultra-acute stroke:study protocol for the “Rapid Intervention with GTN in Hypertensive Stroke Trial” (RIGHT, ISRCTN66434824)

TL;DR: The right trial as discussed by the authors is an ambulance-based, single-blind, randomised controlled trial with blinded-outcome assessment, where patients with ultra-acute stroke (≤4 hours of onset) are randomised to transdermal glyceryl trinitrate (5 mg/24 hours) or gauze dressing daily for 7 days.
Journal ArticleDOI
348 rapid intervention with glyceryl trinitrate (gtn) in hypertensive stroke trial (right): determining the safety of gtn and potential of ambulance-based randomised controlled trials in patients with ultra-acute stroke

TL;DR: The trial confirmed that paramedics can deliver a trial in patients with ultra-acute presumed stroke, and appears safe to administer transdermal glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), and a large multicentre trial is now in design to test the effect of lowering blood pressure ultra-ACutely after stroke.
