Improving Hospital Stroke Care with Pre- Hospital Interventions: FAST- ED
FAST-ED is a simple scale that if successfully validated in the field, may be used by medical emergency professionals to identify patients with large vessel occlusion. This would allow for a faster triage once the patient arrives at the hospital.
