Also in this course you will be able to learn about adapting the National Institute of Health's (NIH) Stroke Scale assessment tool and learn from Debbie Summers and the Code Neuro Team at St. Luke's on the Plaza, one of the premier comprehensive stroke centers in the country. They are piloting an initiative to bring an abbreviated NIHSS to the prehospital environment in an attempt to catch certain complaints that are commonly missed by the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale. To get the most out of this presentation, go to http://learn.heart.org/ihtml/application/student/interface.heart2/nihss.html and take the NIHSS certification course on-line prior to class. It is free and will take you a couple of hours to complete.
