EMS Stroke
About This Course
What you'll experience
Fifty-nine-year-old Alan Carter was home with his wife and started complaining of headache. Ten minutes back his wife called 911 when Alan started having trouble speaking and could not move his left arm and leg. A facial droop was also noticed on his left side. A FAST-ED stroke exam will be conducted to examine the patient. This VR simulations open scenario is designed to help learners identify and manage a case of stroke in an emergency.
Learning Objectives
- Identifying signs and symptoms of a stroke using the FAST-ED assessment
- Evaluating stroke severity by accurately scoring patient based on FAST-ED criteria
- Implementing timely interventions and protocols to manage the stroke

EMS Stroke Management
As part of this multiplayer open scenario, the learner will reach the scene as part of the EMS team. The learner observes a facial droop on the left side and is informed that the patient is unable to move his left arm and leg. As part of the FAST-ED stroke assessment, the learners will ask the patient to perform a series of tasks. The patient’s FAST-ED score will determine the further course of action.
This scenario is set in a photorealistic environment and all necessary affordances are made available to assist learners in performing their tasks with efficiency and effectiveness.
