如何发现中风
If you notice these signs of stroke, here's what you need to do 和 why you need to act quickly.
When someone has a stroke, recovery can be greatly impacted by how quickly medical treatment is received. That's why it's important to know what the symptoms of stroke look like so you can better determine when someone needs help.
If a person's stroke is due to an obstruction in a vessel supplying blood to the brain (an ischemic stroke), a clot-busting drug (tPA) may improve the chances of recovery if administered quickly enough. Studies show when tPA is given within 1½ hours, up to 20% of patients show significant improvement 90 days later; if within 3 hours, about 10% show improvement.
Recent studies have also shown that after being evaluated at the hospital, some patients may benefit from being transferred to specialized stroke centers for clot retrieval procedures that can increase the chances of symptom improvement. Time is also critical in performing these procedures as soon as possible.
Time is of the essence when it comes to treating a stroke. That's why it's best to remember the word 快 when trying to determine if someone is having a stroke. This acronym helps you identify stroke warning signs:
- F =面部下垂; Ask the person to smile. Is one side of the face drooping or hard to move?
- A =手臂无力: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift down?
- S = Speech difficulties: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Do you notice slurred speech or trouble forming words?
- T =时间: 浪费时间就是浪费脑力. If you notice any of the above symptoms, call 911 right away.
Other symptoms of stroke include double or blurred vision, a sudden severe headache with no known cause, sudden numbness on one side of the body, 麻烦走, 头晕, loss of balance or coordination, 手臂或腿部无力.
If something seems "off" with someone 和 you suspect it's due to a stroke, call 911 immediately. The sooner a person having a stroke gets to a hospital, the better the odds of recovery. The single most important factor in the successful treatment of stroke is getting treatment as quickly as possible.
If you suspect a stroke, always call 911. Remember, it's important to act 快.
