Validation of Score to Detect Intracranial Lesions in Unconscious Patients in Prehospital Setting.

Objectives: Recognizing stroke and other intracranial pathologies in prehospital phase facilitates prompt recanalization and other specific care. Recognizing these can be difficult in patients with decreased level of consciousness. We previously derived a scoring system combining systolic blood pressure, age and heart rate to recognize patients with intracranial pathology.
