The key spokesperson for the video is Dr. Wilder, Director of Neurointervention at RiverBend. In the video, Dr. Wider discusses the warning signs of a stroke and the need for rapid intervention by utiliz- ing the FAST system: Face — Ask the person to smile and note if the face is uneven. Arms—Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift down or is it unable to move? Speech—Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Does their speech sound strange? Strange speech could mean slurred, the wrong words are used, or the person is unable to speak at all. Time: Time to call 911. Paramedics, when they arrive on scene, will conduct the National Institutes of Health(NIH) Stroke Scale, which is a systematic assess- ment tool that provides a quan- titative measure of stroke neu- rological deficits. The NIH Stroke scale exam- ines 15 items, such as such as language ability, level of con- sciousness, vision acuity, motor strength, ataxia and sen- sory loss. EMS Personnel also utilize the Cincinnati Stroke Triage Assessment Tool (C-STAT), which involves conjugate gaze deviation, arm weakness and level of consciousness. Based on the above assess- ment criteria, paramedics will then make a decision to acti- vate the Regional Stroke Center and facilitate patient transport to that hospital, either by ground or medical helicopter. Time is brain tissue, and the sooner the stroke patient arrives at the Stroke Center; the better the potential out- come towards recovery. Paramedics from WLAD and nurses from PeaceHealth will be available to discuss the exam, assessment and treat- ment options for potential stroke patients and their loved ones; or any member of the general public who may be interested in this filed of emer- gency medicine. Any organization or agency interested in the video presen- tation, followed by a short dis- cussion by paramedics and nurses, is encouraged to con- tact Western Lane Ambulance District at 541-997-9614.
