أخطاء شائعة يجب تجنبها
- ✕Administering too slowly, delaying thrombolysis window
- ✕Over-interpreting small NIHSS differences
أسئلة شائعة
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.
