Stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or ruptures. This results in obstructed blood flow and the brain does not get enough oxygen and important nutrients to function normally. The impact of a stroke is on hearing, speaking, eating, moving and almost all vital processes in the body. Therefore, appropriate and fast stroke treatment during the golden period is very important for the life of someone who has had a stroke. The golden period is a term used for the period of life of a stroke sufferer through immediate treatment. If stroke sufferers receive appropriate medical treatment during the golden period, there is a big chance that stroke sufferers can survive and minimize stroke complications. In stroke, the golden period is four and a half hours after a person experiences stroke symptoms. During the golden period of stroke, patients must receive stroke drugs that are injected into the body.
To be able to provide first aid for a stroke, you need to know the early symptoms of a stroke, known as the FAST method, including:
