Introduction[edit | edit source]

Stroke Assessment Scales[edit | edit source]

Pre Hospital[edit | edit source]

Pre Hospital assessment and determination of stroke severity is a new concept, with the best scale yet to be determined. The Cincinnati and Los Angeles scales have been validated in hospital trials, but studies are mixed when applied by EMS [1]. The RACE Scale had positive results when tested among paramedics in Spain [2], is being adopted by many EMS Systems in the United States, and more studies of it are underway.

Cincinnati Pre-Hospital Stroke Scale (CPSS)[edit | edit source]

Los Angeles Prehospital Stroke Screen (LAPSS)[edit | edit source]

Rapid Arterial oCclusion Evaluation (RACE)[edit | edit source]

Miami Emergency Neurological Deficit (MEND)[edit | edit source]

Melbourne Ambulance Stroke Screen (MASS)[edit | edit source]

Acute[edit | edit source]

Main role to measure deficits and stroke severity, which predicts patient discharge disposition. It provides a Standardized Neurological Exam, that can be utilised to monitor Neurological Status and can also be used to match patients to allow for comparison in clinical trials.
