E-125 Gaze weakness neglect and speech (GWNS): an acute ischemic stroke scale of large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the emergency department for faster treatment

ConclusionsGWNS is an AISS of LVO which could be performed rapidly in ER. GWNS score 3 and 4 are associated with LVO, especially when gage deviation/preference are present. Additionally, GWNS scale was superior to NIHSS to detect LVO. Therefore, patients with AIS with GWNS score 3 or 4 could be directly send for early MT which will save time and millions of brain cells. Further studies are needed and we are moving to direct GWNS to thrombectomy without CTA in our next phase.Disclosures Y. Lodi: None. R. Pande: None. I. Khan: None.
