Quickly identify stroke and remember the "BE FAST" formula

 　　These high-risk factors should be taken care of.

　　Stroke , commonly known as "stroke", is an acute cerebrovascular disease, which is a group of diseases that cause brain tissue damage due to sudden rupture or infarction of blood vessels in the brain. cerebral infarction) and hemorrhagic stroke (ie, cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, etc.). It is often referred to as the "number one killer" that threatens people's health, and can cause hemiplegia, speech impairment, dysphagia, cognitive impairment, mental depression and other symptoms.

　　Zhang Zhengsheng introduced that Mr. Li has the habit of smoking and drinking all year round, and has suffered from high blood pressure for 10 years. These are the incentives for Mr. Li's sudden acute cerebral infarction. Most of the recent clinically treated stroke patients are obese, smoke and drink, often stay up late and work under pressure, and they are obviously polarized, mainly young and old.

　　Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, coronary heart disease, smoking and drinking, obesity, advanced age, and family history of stroke are all risk factors for stroke. In particular, people who are older, have a past history of stroke or have a family history of stroke have a significantly increased risk of stroke. Therefore, risk factors should be actively controlled in life to reduce the incidence of stroke.

　　Remember "BE FAST"

　　So, how to quickly identify a stroke in life? Zhang Zhengsheng suggested that remember the "BE FAST" formula. "B" means balance, loss of balance or coordination, sudden difficulty walking; "E" means eyes, sudden vision changes, difficulty seeing; "F" means face, Asymmetrical face, crooked corners of the mouth; "A" refers to the arms (Arms), sudden weakness or numbness in the arms, usually on one side of the body; "S" refers to speech (Speech), slurred speech, inability to understand others Language; "T" refers to the time (Time), the above symptoms suggest that a stroke may occur, do not wait for the symptoms to disappear on their own, and immediately call "120" for medical assistance.

　　After patients with suspected stroke are sent to the hospital, relevant imaging examinations will be completed first, and then emergency treatment will be implemented after a clear diagnosis. Different types of acute stroke are treated differently. If it is an acute ischemic stroke, treatment options such as intravenous thrombolysis and arterial thrombectomy will be selected according to the length of time after the onset of the disease and the patient’s condition; if it is an acute hemorrhagic stroke, surgical treatment will be selected.

　　The sooner the treatment time, the better

　　Zhang Zhengsheng pointed out that at present, acute ischemic stroke accounts for about 70% of strokes, and intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular treatment (thrombectomy) within the time window are the most effective treatments at present. measure. The optimal time for thrombolytic therapy is within 4.5 hours after the onset, and the cells in the post-ischemic area will gradually become necrotic. . This is like the lack of water in the crops. If the water is lacking for a long time, the seedlings will be dry. It is very important to open the canals for irrigation as soon as possible. Therefore, once a stroke occurs, it is necessary to go to the nearest stroke center and stroke screening and prevention base hospital and other medical institutions with stroke treatment capabilities as soon as possible to receive standardized treatment.
