Stroke, folk called “stroke”, including cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, TIA (commonly known as: small stroke). However, because many people do not understand the disease, there are misunderstandings in the understanding, often in the patient’s sudden stroke, while the family is anxious about the patient’s condition at the same time, the treatment of medical personnel and care advice is difficult to decide, resulting in poor cooperation, and sometimes delayed treatment, affecting the patient’s recovery. What are the common misconceptions after a stroke? Myth 1: Wait and see, maybe it’s okay. Some people are completely unaware of the precursors of stroke, and often feel that they will be fine if they endure, but they miss the best diagnosis and treatment time, and suffer from lifelong disabilities or even lose their precious lives, so it is especially important to know the precursors of stroke in advance. Common aura of stroke are: 1, face, tongue, limbs numbness; 2, suddenly crooked mouth, speech is unfavorable, aphasia, limb weakness, loss of objects or sudden fall; 3, vertigo, feel around the object rotation or their own spinning, accompanied by nausea, walking unsteadily; 4, sudden headache or severe headache with vomiting; 5, suddenly one side of the eye black haze or blurred vision, but the duration of a short period of time; 6, suddenly to the recent events, or personal daily life, loss of memory, or the loss of personal life, or the loss of memory. Sudden loss of memory of recent events, or changes in daily habits and judgment. Correct treatment: Pay attention to the aura of stroke, raise vigilance, and send your family members to the hospital as soon as possible once they are found to have the aura of stroke. If the stroke patients meet the indications, thrombolytic therapy can be carried out within 6 h of the onset of the disease (preferably within 3 hours), which often achieves the best therapeutic effect; and for patients with transient ischemic attack, early drug treatment can avoid the further development of severe stroke. Myth 2: Why is the condition worse after entering the hospital? There is a clinical condition called progressive stroke, which refers to a clinical process in which the symptoms of neurological deficits continue to worsen for a period of time after a cerebral infarction occurs. The duration of progression varies from a few hours to more than ten days. The morbidity rate is 20%-40%, and the disability and mortality rates are higher than those of general stroke. Meanwhile, post-stroke edema often occurs 6 h after stroke, and the peri-cellular edema can be seen under the electron microscope, and the edema is obvious in 24 h, and then increases in 2-4 d, and then reaches the peak gradually, and can last for 7-10 d. Therefore, the condition of patients with stroke will be aggravated in contrast to the condition of patients who enter the hospital, which is in fact the process of the development of the disease. Myth 3: Even if you don’t eat, don’t insert a gastric tube Stroke patients may have swallowing dysfunction, in order to ensure the patient’s nutritional supply and water, electrolyte balance, the need to insert a gastric tube nasal nutritional solution. Due to the lack of awareness, many patients think that gastric tube is too painful to refuse to insert a gastric tube, in fact, this choice has the disadvantages of no benefit. The benefits of gastric tube insertion include: I. Nasogastric feeding can increase the time of gastric mucosa contacting with food, thus protecting the gastric mucosa, preventing the occurrence of stress ulcer, thus improving the nutritional status, meeting the patient’s body’s demand for nutrition, strengthening the body, and favoring the recovery. Second, prevent choking and accidental inhalation when eating, leading to prolonged lung infection. Third, increase nutrition, enhance the body resistance, promote the recovery of the disease. Myth 4: a morbidity, have come to visit the patient to express concern about the acute phase of stroke patients need to be quiet bed rest, to avoid unnecessary sound and light stimulation. But very often, friends and relatives heard that the patient is sick, have rushed to sympathy, in fact, this is extremely unfavorable to the patient’s recovery. The patient has just suffered from the disease, the body is very weak, to cope with the visitors to consume physical strength, at the same time, increase the patient’s psychological pressure, resulting in emotional fluctuations, affecting the blood pressure rise, is not conducive to the recovery of the disease. Bacteria brought in by outsiders will also increase the chances of infection. Myth 5: Is the patient’s fever due to cold and flu? Stroke patients often have an elevated body temperature, because stroke patients of the thalamus lower thermoregulatory center is damaged, resulting in thermoregulatory dysfunction, resulting in central hyperthermia, so the drug can not make the body temperature down, and often need to be physically cooled down. Central hyperthermia can cause cerebral vasodilatation on the basis of the original disease, increase brain metabolism and free radical release, aggravate cerebral edema and brain cell damage, and jeopardize the patient’s life. The fever of central hyperthermia is characterized by a sudden rise in body temperature to more than 40 degrees, with persistent fever without chills; the temperature of the limbs is not high, but the temperature of the head and trunk is very high; the skin is dry and sweatless. Physical cooling methods often include: local cold therapy, including ice packs, ice caps, ice blankets; systemic cold therapy, including alcohol baths, warm water baths. In clinical application, subcooling therapy is mostly an auxiliary treatment method, which has the function of improving the degree of neurological deficits, reducing the oxygen consumption and metabolic rate of brain tissues, improving the tolerance to hypoxia, reducing cerebral edema, inhibiting the production of free radicals, and protecting the blood-brain barrier, improving the prognosis, lowering the rate of death and disability, and improving the ability of self-care and the quality of life after the healing process. Subcooling therapy has gradually become one of the important means to assist in the treatment of acute cerebrovascular disease. Myth 6: All is well if you can save your life after brain injury, and there is no need for rehabilitation. In fact, there is another crucial stage after brain injury: the rehabilitation stage, i.e., within one month after the condition is stabilized, or within six months at the latest, rehabilitation treatment is needed. Many patients and their families miss the opportunity of functional rehabilitation because they do not understand this stage. After stroke, if patients can carry out active rehabilitation treatment, most of them can regain the ability to take care of themselves, and some of them can even return to work. Therefore, only with a correct understanding of stroke, we can make the right judgment at the critical moment and cooperate with doctors and nurses to do a good job in rescue treatment, so as to minimize the harm of stroke and maximize the benefits of disease recovery.
