Field assessment stroke triage for emergency destination: a simple and accurate prehospital scale to detect large vessel occlusion strokes.
The authors aimed to develop a simple field scale to identify large vessel occlusion strokes (LVOS). They found that Field Assessment Stroke Triage for Emergency Destination (FAST-ED) is a simple scale that, if successfully validated in the field, may be used by medical emergency professionals to identify LVOS in the prehospital setting enabling rapid triage of patients.
