A stroke or apoplexy, as the disease is also called, often hits people out of the blue and can happen to anyone. But there are often warning signs such as temporary hemiplegia, impaired vision or speech, or sudden, raging headaches. Recognizing these warning signs can save lives.
First of all: Every minute counts! No matter who it affects: The most important first step is to recognize a stroke as quickly as possible ... just FAST: The following signs indicate a stroke:
Face: Is there any drooping of the face or one side of the mouth or impaired vision ...
Arms: Are any limbs paralyzed?
Speech: Does the affected person suffer from speech disorders? (e.g. unclear or unrelated)
Time: Immediately call 112 and report a suspected stroke!
Do not hesitate to call 112 immediately if symptoms occur in you or any other person! Every stroke and also a temporary circulatory disturbance of the brain (TIA) is an emergency.
Course of action for acute stroke:
- Keep the airways clear and put the patient in a stable lateral position in case of vomiting or unconsciousness
- Observe the affected person and actively prevent him/her from falling asleep
- If necessary, loosen restrictive clothing, remove dentures
- Check pulse and respiration
