Announcement:
We present to you an educational review dedicated to the key assessment scales in neurology: the NIHSS (National Institutes of Health Scale) and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).
In this video we will analyze:
- Purpose, structure and methodology of using the NIHSS scale in acute cerebrovascular accidents for objective quantitative assessment of neurological deficit
- The role of mRS in assessing functional outcome and long-term disability, global functional outcome and degree of disability.
Key points:
- Methodology for application and interpretation of scores.
- The role of scales in clinical decision making
This material will be useful for neurologists, neuroresuscitators, rehabilitation specialists, emergency physicians, medical students, and anyone interested in evidence-based approaches to medicine.
