There is nothing pre-hospital to do for a stroke patient except her system and get them to a hospital that is equipped to handle strokes as fast as possible when we do this we give the person the best chance of survival and recovery!
The best first aid treatment to give a person who have got a stroke and is not in the hospital is to give an intravenous injection of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). tPA is one of the widely used drug that plays a major role in dissolving the blood clot thereby restoring the blood flow.
We then need to make sure to take the patient to the hospital as soon as possible because longer the period of untreated stroke, more damage to the brain occurs.
