About this Guideline:

The RNAO Best Practice Guideline Stroke Assessment Across the Continuum of Care (2005, 2011) was retired in October 2020.

 Comprehensive and up-to-date evidence-based guidelines for the prevention and management of stroke are available. RNAO encourages users of this guideline to review the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada’s Canadian Stroke Best Practices: http://www.strokebestpractices.ca/.

RNAO’s guideline development team completed an AGREE II appraisal on the Canadian Stroke Best Practices and concluded it is a high quality guideline. It is comprehensive and covers stroke management in adults, pediatrics and during pregnancy.  It also includes core performance indicators and is updated every two to three years.
