TESTS TO DETERMINE IF ONE HAS STROKE
Three commands, known as the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale (CPSS), may help to determine if the potential for stroke exists. Ask the patient to do the following:
- Smile: the face should move symmetrically
- Raise both arms: looking for weakness on one side of the body
- Speak a simple sentence
If a potential stroke victim cannot perform these tasks, 9-1-1 should be called to activate the emergency medical system. Ideally, a person suspected of having as stroke or stroke-like symptoms should be taken to a hospital certified as a stroke treatment centre.
