Beware of Signs and Symptoms of Stroke<\/a><\/h3>
Stroke, according to WHO, is the presence of focal or global neurological deficits due to impaired brain function that occurs suddenly, lasts > 24 hours or death, caused solely by cerebral vascular disorders, including eye and spinal cord stroke. Broadly speaking, stroke can be divided into obstruction stroke and hemorrhage stroke. Each year in Indonesia there are an estimated 550,000 new cases of stroke, and is the third leading cause of death in Indonesia after cardiovascular and cancer, and is a major cause of disability. \n\n Stroke is caused by many risk factors that are divided into modifiable (hypertension, diabetes, heart rhythm disorders and heart valve disease, blood disorders, excess cholesterol, contraceptive pills, smoking, alcohol, obesity) and non-modifiable (age, race, gender, previous stroke) risk factors. \n\n Stroke events are very important to know the signs and symptoms by patients, family, friends, and the surrounding community because stroke events are emergency events that must be immediately taken to the hospital for immediate treatment to prevent death and disability in patients. Signs and symptoms of stroke that can be recognized by the general public are abbreviated as "F.A.S.T warning sign". \n\n F.A.S.T warning sign consists of: \n\n - F = Face Drooping - Is one side of the face asymmetrical or numb? Ask the patient to smile, is the smile asymmetrical? \n\n - A = Arm Weakness - Does one side of the arm experience weakness or numbness? Ask the patient to raise both arms, does one side of the arm appear to be falling downwards? \n\n - S = Speech Difficulty - Does the patient appear to have difficulty speaking/speech slurred? \n\n - T = Time to call 911 - If 1 of the above is yes, then the patient should be taken to the nearest hospital immediately. \n\n Other signs and symptoms of stroke that should be considered besides those mentioned above are: \n\n - Sudden weakness or numbness of the face, arm or leg on one side of the body. \n\n - Sudden loss of consciousness, difficulty speaking or difficulty understanding speech and commands. \n\n - Sudden difficulty seeing in one or both eyes. \n\n - Double vision, momentary darkness, numbness around the mouth, ringing in the ears, difficulty swallowing, choking, nasal voice that occurs suddenly. \n\n - Difficulty walking, dizziness, sudden loss of balance. \n\n - Sudden onset of headache. \n\n - Sudden spraying of vomit. \n\n - Seizures. \n\n If there are symptoms and signs as mentioned above, family, friends, coworkers, and the surrounding community should immediately bring the patient to the hospital without delay, and the patient is immediately treated / referred to a neurologist so that the mortality rate and disability rate can be reduced and reduced. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Stroke can strike regardless of age<\/a><\/h3>
Stroke is a health condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted or cut off so that brain cells do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients to carry out their vital functions. Without an adequate blood supply, brain cells can be damaged or die, which can lead to neurological disorders and even death. \n\n There are two common types of stroke: ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain is blocked by a blood clot or arterial plaque, while hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and causes bleeding. \n\n Common symptoms of stroke that often occur and can be seen physically include: \n\n \n Face (face): the face may fall to one side, the person may not be able to smile, or the mouth or eyes may droop. \n Arms (arms): the person suspected of having had a stroke may not be able to raise both arms and hold them up. This is because the stroke has caused weakness or numbness in one arm. \n Speech (way of speaking): speech sounds slurred or garbled, or the person may not be able to speak at all despite appearing awake. In addition, it may also be difficult to understand what you say. \n \n\n Risk factors that can increase a person's likelihood of having a stroke include old age, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol levels, physical inactivity, family history of stroke, and certain medical conditions such as heart arrhythmias and coronary artery disease. \n\n Although strokes are more common in older people, they can also occur in young people. Strokes can occur in people of all ages, including children and adolescents. Some of the risk factors that increase the likelihood of stroke in young people include smoking, alcohol abuse, obesity, and the use of illegal drugs. \n\n In addition, several medical conditions can increase the risk of stroke in young people, such as blood clotting disorders, migraine with aura, congenital heart disease, and infectious infections such as meningitis or endocarditis. \n\n It is important to remember that strokes can happen to anyone, and even people who appear healthy can have strokes. Therefore, everyone needs to know the risk factors for stroke and take appropriate preventive measures, such as adopting a healthy lifestyle, monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and consulting a doctor if any symptoms or medical conditions may increase the risk of stroke.

According to data from the WHO, stroke is the second largest contributor to death in 2018. The most risky stroke is in elderly people over 65 years old, but twenty-five percent of strokes occur in elderly people under 65 years old. Prevention is better done by recognizing the early symptoms of a stroke in order to get the right treatment. \n\n Definition of Stroke \n\n Stroke is a cerebrovascular disease. The definition according to WHO, Stroke is a condition in which rapidly developing clinical signs are found in the form of focal and global neurologic deficits, which can be severe and last for 24 hours or more and or can cause death, without any other obvious cause other than vascular. Stroke occurs when the blood vessels in the brain are blocked or ruptured. As a result, part of the brain does not get the blood supply that carries the necessary oxygen so that it experiences cell/tissue death. \n\n Risk Factors \n\n Can be modified \n\n \n Hypertension \n Diabetes Mellitus \n Hypercholesterol \n Heart disease \n Obesity \n Unhealthy lifestyle \n \n\n Cannot be modified \n\n \n Genetics / heredity \n Old age \n Gender (males are more at risk than females) \n Race (African-American) \n \n\n Stroke Type \n\n \n Blockage / Ischemic \n Bleeding / Hemorrhagic \n \n\n Stroke Symptoms \n\n \n Smile is not symmetrical (turned to one side) \n Difficulty swallowing water and choking when eating suddenly \n Weakness of half of the body suddenly \n Speech is slurred / can't talk / can't understand words / speech doesn't connect suddenly \n Numbness or numbness or tingling in half of the body suddenly \n Myopic, the view of one or both eyes suddenly blurred \n Sudden severe headache and never felt before \n Impaired balance, such as a sense of spinning and impaired \n \n\n coordination such as tremors/shaking, staggering \n\n Supporting investigation \n\n \n CT scan of the head \n MRI of the head \n ECG \n TCD and carotid doppler \n Laboratory examination \n \n\n Governance \n\n \n Ischemic stroke: · \n \n\n \n Improve blood flow to the brain (reperfusion) using rt-PA (recombinant tissue plasminogen activator). Terms of administration 3 - 4.5 hours after the onset of blockage \n Prevent thrombosis by administering antiplatelets or anticoagulants · \n Neuroprotection / cytoprotection \n \n\n \n Hemorrhagic stroke · \n \n\n \n Conservative management of bleeding with tranexamic acid \n Operative management as indicated \n \n\n Prevention \n\n \n Control blood pressure, cholesterol \n Do sports 5 times a week for at least 30 minutes \n Eat a balanced and healthy diet (multiple fruits, vegetables, reduce salt) \n Maintain ideal body weight \n Stop smoking and avoid cigarette smoke \n Do not consume alcohol \n Check and treat heart disease \n Reduce the risk of diabetes \n Get enough rest \n Manage stress \n Find knowledge about stroke \n \n\n Handling and Treatment of Stroke at Home \n\n \n Medication regularly \n Take medicine as directed by the doctor \n Help the patient train the movement of muscles and joints \n Help the patient's needs \n Motivate the patient to remain enthusiastic in physical exercise \n Check blood pressure regularly \n \n\n If you have experienced the initial symptoms of a stroke above, immediately consult a neurologist for further treatment and treatment \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
