Zusammenfassung:Hintergrund: We investigated the feasibility of ultrasound for the detection of large-vessel-occlusion acute stroke. Methoden: Two neurologists (one experienced and one junior reader) retrospectively analyzed point-of-care ultrasound exams of the common carotid arteries of 30 patients with and without large-vessel-occlusion. Ergebnisse: Ultrasound of the carotid arteries allows detecting large-vessel-occlusion with a sensitivity and positive predictive value of 73.3% and 95.7%, respectively. Inter-rater reliability was excellent (Cohen's Kappa,.813; p
