Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

Evaluation
Goal: Evaluation done within 60 mins of patient's arrival[1]

Check vitals
ABCs
Rapid Hx - time of onset, time of arrival at the ED, medications (especially anticoagulants)
Rapid physical exam - neuro exam, NIHSS
Activate stroke team
Stat fingerstick
Labs
EKG, troponin, CXR
NPO
Obtain stroke protocol
