BEFORE you request a stroke alert, obtain a FAST-ED score to see if the patient is having symptoms indicative of a large-vessel occlusion. Ask if the patient is on any anticoagulant medications, such as:

Conclusions—FAST-ED is a simple scale that if successfully validated in the field, it may be used by medical emergency professionals to identify LVOS in the prehospital setting enabling rapid triage of patients.

Reporting the FAST-ED scores allows the appropriate level of response to be ready. The Fast-ED scale is a scale used to calculate the severity of the stroke and is based on items of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) with higher predictive value for large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke . St. Luke’s Campus

2017年4月14日 · The FAST-ED (Field Assessment Stroke Triage for Emergency Destination) application is based on a built-in automated decision-making algorithm that relies on (1) a brief series of questions assessing patient’s age, anticoagulant usage, time last known normal, motor weakness, gaze deviation, aphasia, and hemineglect; (2) a database of all ...

Refers to a numerical scale used to determine the severity of the neurologic deficits once a stroke is suspected in order to identify patients with severe symptoms due to LVO that may benefit from EVT. There are several available tools, and no single tool has been shown to be superior.

FAST-ED is a simple scale that if successfully validated in field might be useful for medical emergency professionals to accurately identify LVOS in the pre-hospital setting enabling rapid triage of patients to primary versus endovascular capable stroke centers.

Possible scores of the FAST-ED range from 0 to 9. A score of 4 or greater is the suggested cutof for suspected large vessel occlusion stroke triage. Abbreviation: FAST-ED, Field Assessment Stroke Triage for Emergency Destination.

A stroke score greater than or equal to 4 indicates a high likelihood of LVO stroke Total Score Score

2016年6月30日 · The FAST-ED scale has the advantage of providing 3 distinct groups for the likelihood of LVOS: score 0 to 1, <15%; 2 to 3, ≈30%; and ≥4, ≈60% or higher.

2022年4月6日 · The Field Assessment Stroke Triage for Emergency Destination (FAST-ED) scale is designed to simplify assessment of stroke while providing additional quantitative grading to decide the likelihood of a large vessel occlusion (LVO) ongoing versus a smaller ischemic stroke.
