Importance of Rapid Assessment in Dizziness Cases

In emergency departments, prompt assessment of dizziness patients is crucial. Differentiating between various vestibular syndromes, like acute, spontaneous, and triggered, aids in appropriate management. The use of standing protocols, including the head impulse test and nystagmus testing, simplifies the process for emergency physicians. The protocol assists in identifying common conditions like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and posterior circulation TIAs.
