What to Do If Your Loved One Has a Stroke (Part 2 - First Aid)

1/17/2018 9:27:24 AM

Stroke is a medical emergency. Every minute counts when your loved one is having a stroke. The longer blood flow is cut off to the brain, the greater the damage. Immediate treatment can save his or her lives and enhance the chances for successful recovery.
Treatment within 3 hours of symptoms improves chances of recovery with little or no disability, but you need to arrive at the hospital within 60 minutes after symptoms start to prevent disability.

Here are some basic steps to help a person with a stroke while waiting for medical assistance.

STEP 1

Open their airway (loosen their clothes, avoid any obstruction or compression in the neck-chest area)
Elevate their head to 20-30 degrees
Tilt their head (in case they vomit)

STEP 2

Keep them as responsive as possible
Check for normal breathing

STEP 3

Put them in the recovery position

AVOID

Pricking their fingers or ears and treating the patients by yourself
Acupuncture, acupressure, gua sha (scraping/coining), massage
Letting the patients eat, drink or take medicine
