When paramedics let an Emergency Department know they are on their way with a suspected stroke patient, this ensures the team is prepared to start diagnosis and treatment as soon as the patient arrives. Once the ambulance arrives at the hospital, the patient is transferred without delay along with a full report including time of stroke onset or time the patient was last known to be well. The Emergency Department physician then evaluates patient for signs of stroke and patient is then sent for an urgent CT scan. Know the signs of stroke - FAST Face – is it drooping? Arms – can you raise both? Speech – is it slurred or jumbled? Time - to call 9-1-1 or your local emergency service right away. http://www.heartandstroke.ca/FAST
