FAST Stroke Guide

by Akram Shhadeh

FAST Stroke Guide is written for all healthcare providers who participate in the care of acute stroke patients including EMS providers, ED physicians and nurses, neurologists, internists, stroke nurses, radiology technologists, stroke coordinators and educators, stroke unit managers, and hospital administrators. It is critical that all disciplines are brought to a common ground to facilitate speedy diagnosis and treatment since acute stroke is a time-sensitive disease with a narrow treatment window. This book is a concise guide that bridges the gaps amongst different providers who participate in acute stroke patient care. It is written in a very simple and clear manner without compromising scientific content. This book is especially helpful as a curriculum for comprehensive stroke program building and maintenance by providing critical information (such as stroke team building, stroke assessment tools, triaging algorithms, treatment criteria, and AHA/ASA guidelines) in an organized and easy to read manual.
