Brief Summary
The aim of the Pre-HAST study is to improve identification and triage of patients with suspected stroke in order to get the right patient to the right level of care as fast as possible. Furthermore, the scale is also intended to use follow stroke symptoms in emergency care. The test is more extensive then the FAST or Cincinatti Stroke Scale and is in some aspects similar to the NIHSS but is shorter, easier and faster to perform to improve interexaminator variability and improve validity in less trained personal. The test is intended for awake patients with suspected stroke
