How well do you know your way around the Circle of Willis? Can you predict where the occlusion is in a stroke patient based on their presentation of signs or symptoms? This episode is all about linking those together to help you better understand your patient and their stroke. We also discuss the FAST-ED, how turning it into the BEFAST-ED helps increase its sensitivity from just LVO's in the front 2/3 of the brain to also help pick up on posterior occlusions, and the NIHSS as well.
