NIH Stroke Scale quantifies stroke severity by assessing 11 neurologic domains. Scores guide thrombolytic and thrombectomy decisions.
ଷ୍ଟେପ୍-ଷ୍ଟେପ୍ ଗାଇଡ୍ |
- 1Evaluate: consciousness, eye gaze, visual, facial symmetry, motor (arms and legs), sensation, language, dysarthria, neglect
- 2Each item scored 0-4 (or 0-3/0-2)
- 3Total 0-42; higher indicates more severe stroke
ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ
ଇନପୁଟ୍
Alert, gaze normal, visual loss left, facial droop, weak arm/leg
ଫଳ
NIHSS ≈ 10 (moderate)
Candidate for thrombolysis
ଏଡ଼ାଇବା ଯୋଗ୍ୟ ସାଧାରଣ ଭୁଲ
- ✕Administering too slowly, delaying thrombolysis window
- ✕Over-interpreting small NIHSS differences
ବାରମ୍ବାର ଜିଜ୍ଞାସା
How quickly should NIHSS be done?
Within 10-15 minutes of presentation; guides emergency thrombolysis decision.
Can NIHSS predict outcome?
Broadly yes: NIHSS 0-5 usually good outcomes, >20 often poor outcomes, but individual variation is large.
