Home First Aid for Stroke Patients

  Whether the stroke patient is rescued in time after the onset of the stroke and whether the treatment is appropriate is crucial to the prognosis.  1, after finding the patient has a stroke, remember to panic and nervous. The patient should first be laid flat in bed and contacted with the hospital or emergency center as soon as possible.  2.Stroke can be divided into hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke. Do not use medicine when the diagnosis is not clear, because different types of stroke use different medicine.  3.Master the correct way to carry the patient. First, do not rush to pick up the patient from the floor. It is best for 2-3 people to hold the patient to the bed at the same time, with the head slightly elevated to avoid vibration. Secondly, loosen the collar of the patient and remove the dentures if there are any. In addition, if the patient vomits, the patient’s head should be tilted to one side to avoid blocking the trachea with vomit, and if the patient convulses, chopsticks can be used between the upper and lower teeth to prevent biting the tongue; if the patient has shortness of breath or sputum sound in the throat, the family can suck out the sputum by mouth with the other end of the plastic tube.  4.Before sending the patient to the hospital, the patient should be moved as little as possible, and the patient should be carried on a stretcher when transferred. If the patient is carried up the stairs, the patient’s head should be in a high position and the feet in a low position, which can reduce cerebral congestion, and the family needs to hold the patient’s head with both hands on the way to the hospital to avoid head shock.  5.For critically ill patients with deep coma and irregular breathing, they should be sent to hospital immediately for emergency treatment; most patients with ischemic stroke are conscious, so they should be allowed to lie still and do some limb massage at the same time, which can promote blood circulation.  6, the main symptoms of stroke: sudden aphasia, blindness, fainting, weakness of one limb, incontinence, etc.
