Stroke Work-Up

  • Head CT (non-contrast)
    • In ischemica stroke CT has sensitivity 42%, specificity 91%[1]
    • In acute ICH the sensitivity is 95-100%[2]
  • Labs
    • POC glucose
    • CBC
    • Chemistry
    • Coags
    • Troponin
    • T&S
  • ECG
  • Also consider:
    • Pregnancy test
    • CXR (if infection suspected)
    • UA (if infection suspected)
    • Utox (if ingestion suspected)
    • MRI/MRA
