Abstract
The Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale (CPSS) is a three-item examination that has been effective in the identification of stroke victims by health care professionals. However, assessment of the patient earlier in the chain of care, specifically by a 9-1-1 telecommunicator, may improve stroke outcomes.
