Time is critical for the treatment of ischemic strokes – 80% or more of strokes. Specialized care for stroke patients include. Patient is >45 years of age 2. These patients will usually be admitted directly to the ICU after surgery.

Stroke Assessment.
Unfortunately, too often lay persons delay in calling 911 or use a private vehicle to transport a patient with stroke symptoms. PREHOSPITAL STROKE ASSESSMENT SCALES (CONTINUED) LOS ANGELES PREHOSPITAL STROKE SCALE (LAPSS) • Assesses for unilateral deficit facial paresis, hand grip weakness, and arm drift • Pre-hospital stroke screening criteria: 1. Patients in a coma (item 1a=3) are automatically given a 2 on this item. Patients with brain-stem stroke and bilateral sensory loss, quadriplegic patients who do not respond, and comatose patients (item 1a = 3) are scored 2.
The last assessment we will do is called the NIH Stroke Scale. The opportunity for slightly more detailed cognitive and mood assessment can come once the patient has stabilized medically.
