Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2017, Vol 115, Issue 12
Abstract
NIHSS is a tool used to objectively quantify the impairment caused by a stroke. The NIHSS is composed of 11 itmes, each of which scores a specific ability between a 0 and a 4. The maximum possible score is 42, with the minimum score being a 0. NIHSS 5 to 20 is ideal for thrombolytic therapy. Higher the NIHSS more is the risk of bleeding. However no NIHSS score is an absolute contraindication.
