Medical Video: First Aid in Stroke
Stroke is an emergency medical condition. The effects of short and long term strokes can change a person's life. Appropriate medical treatment can make major changes after a stroke at the level of disability and can even have an impact on a person's life and death.
How do I recognize the symptoms of a stroke?
It is important to know the symptoms of a stroke. Stroke generally doesn't hurt. Symptoms of stroke can include a combination of blurred vision, loss of vision, or partial loss of vision.
Lemas, lack of balance, numbness or tingling in the body or face are some signs of stroke. Limping on the feet may result in difficulty walking, poor balance or limping. Limping on the arm can cover the entire arm or only part of the arm or hand. Sometimes weakness can cause an imbalanced limp or shoulder. Squeezing on the face can make the face appear unequal, the eyelids decrease, or the speech is not clear. In some cases, confusion, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, extreme or sudden dizziness, or severe headaches may be the first sign of a stroke.
How do I know if someone is having a stroke?
It will be difficult to be aware of a stroke when symptoms include confusion, disorientation, or dizziness. Often, friends, family or coworkers are the first people to be aware of a stroke. If someone you know suddenly becomes confused or has difficulty speaking and understanding speech, it is important to contact 112 immediately.
Many stroke signs overlap with other emergency neurological signs. Some conditions that may be mistaken for strokes include convulsions, brain tumors, drug use, drug side effects, heart attacks, irregular heartbeat, and very low blood pressure. Medical conditions that can be mistaken for strokes also require emergency treatment. It's no use for you to try to diagnose whether it's a stroke or other health emergency before you contact a medical person. It is important to get help immediately. Often, the diagnosis of stroke takes some time, even in the hands of experienced experts.
Do not wait
Often people who experience dizziness, numbness, tingling, weakness, or changes in vision try to ignore or delay because they don't feel pain, even though pain is not the main characteristic of a stroke. Many people don't want to bother themselves, their families, or their doctors. However, effective treatment of stroke and treatment of stroke has developed rapidly and it is better to immediately conclude a medical evaluation rather than postpone it. The consequences of a stroke are so significant that it is better for you to be careful and seek medical help immediately rather than ignoring it.
Because strokes affect the functions of sensors, motors, and vision, you should not drive if you suspect you have a stroke. The same is true, you should not allow someone who has a stroke to drive. Emergency assistance can help move patients to a safe place. If done safely, friends or family might be able to take stroke patients to the care center.
Many stroke patients cannot describe their symptoms, and therefore someone who knows the change in symptoms can explain the information to medical personnel. Generally, vital signs such as pulse and breath will be checked immediately when medical assistance arrives. Nervous examination provides more detailed information. When a stroke patient is medically stabilized, a diagnostic examination will be considered. If the patient can provide a medical history, the medical history will be considered carefully. Any medical information or reports regarding health conditions and medicines will be very helpful.
