Early recognition of neurological emergencies is critical to improving patient outcomes and reducing treatment delays. This presentation provides a practical framework for performing a rapid, focused neurological examination to identify patients requiring urgent intervention. Participants will learn to recognize key clinical signs associated with large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke, enhancing early stroke detection and timely activation of stroke systems of care. In addition, the session will review common stroke risk factors and evidence-based prevention strategies, empowering attendees to better understand their own stroke risk while promoting overall brain health. Through a concise, clinically relevant approach, participants will gain skills applicable to both emergency response and everyday practice.
