Per Dr. T Chizmar

Use the LAMS Score for any acute stroke patient within a 3.5 hour time window since the person was last known normal. An acute stroke patient is any patient with a sudden loss of (or decrease in) strength, sensation, ability to speak or walk, especially if the Cincinnati Stroke Scale is positive/abnormal. These patients may be candidates for a medication called TPA within a narrow time frame.
The LAMS Score is also in MD protocol books but for refresher (total of each category below is the LAMS Score, a total score of 4 or greater may need emergent vascular procedure):
1. Facial droop -- Absent (no droop) - 0 points; Present (has a droop) -1 point
2. Arm drift -- Absent (no drift) - 0 points; Drifts down (slowly) - 1 point; Falls Rapidly down - 2 points
3. Grip strength -- Normal - 0 points; Weak grip - 1 point; No grip - 2 points

FROM UCMC Stroke Coordinator:

1. Getting the phone number for the patient's family is critical, or better yet, bring them to the hospital. In some cases, the patient is not able to provide consent or give history.

2. Audit results for the LAMS score being provided by EMS. Here is what we have so far. Not bad for just starting this in July 2016. Our goal is to get 90% by the end of the year.

Total n 3Q2016
UCMC 45 55%
HMH 20 45%

3. We have been seeing an improvement in the accuracy of the Last Time Known Normal.
4. Just FYI: UCH compliance with Door to tPA time. Thanks to EMS for the pre-notification and Delivery right to CT.
