NIH Stroke Scale

No practice vedios or link for certification That would be a nice add on or new app I would also like definitions of terms It is a great app thanks                 Leaves me waiting on your next app

Excellant excellant program I use it nearly daily Internist in rural hospital in Georgia The Stroke Belt                 NIH stroke scale

Having one less thing to carry in my pocket is great I really like the detailed instruction it has its hard to remember how to score unusual situations like hx of amputations etc Theres also tPA criteria in this app It even has the 45 hr exclusions listed The only thing I wish it had is an ABCD2 calculator and a quicker way to reach the item you need to score instead of having to scroll through the whole thing                 Very Handy

Get Neuro toolkit instead as it includes this and many more scales GCS etc for same price     Waste of money

Im a neurology resident and really like the application The interface is very intuitive and easy to use I will certainly use it when evaluating patients                 Neurology resident

Gret program Would like to see auto clear to clear the scores after an exam with just one button Otherwise nice program              Great

This is a nice quick way of going through the NIHSS I used it on a couple of patients in the ED recently I wish it had a way of storing and timing the scores for patients but its just outside of the scope of what this tool attempts to do One can refer very easily to the instructions and keep track of ones running score I dont see a quick way of clearing and starting over short of closing and reopening the application This tool is better than the NIH stroke scale calculator which is part of Pepids medical calculator function Epocrates calculator doesnt even include an NIHSS calculator Overall very good Well worth the 3              Very good Quick and easy to use

I work as a nurse at a primary stroke center The NIH stroke scale is a great time saving tool to quickly assess patents It is east to use and step by step instructions are provided     Great tool

The NIH Stroke Scale is fairly detailed not relative to a Neurologists full exam but for an ED Physician it is much more detailed than our more cursoryusual Neuro screening exams and can be a pretty time intensive test to administer in a busy Emergency Department This is a nice simple application that helps you go through the NIHSS efficiently The interface is clean and allows you to get straight to scoring the particular sub test detailed instructions for each sub test are available on each screen The standardized Pictures Sentences and Word stimuli are also built right in You can navigate backwards and forwards from sub test to sub test with a finger swipe there is a running Stroke Score total at the bottom of each screen and a summary screen at the end showing all Subtests and Scores for each This should greatly reduce the time it takes to administer the NIHSS and help with record keeping in the setting of a busy Emergency Department                 Nice quick little program
