Emergency management after a stroke?

  The onset of stroke is as fast as the wind and rain and as swift as lightning. The onset of stroke can be sudden, regardless of the occasion, and can occur in the living room, or in the workplace, or even on the street, in the countryside, in the market, or on the way. What measures should be taken if you encounter a patient who has a sudden stroke?  First of all, when you meet a stroke patient, do not panic. Learn some simple measures to deal with them. If you find that the patient’s condition is serious, or quickly into a coma, the condition is dangerous, the possibility of brain hemorrhage is greater. At this time, the patient can be lifted to the bed, head cushion a low pillow, and turn the head to the side; remove the dentures, timely removal of vomit and sputum in the mouth and nose to prevent asphyxiation; untie the collar to keep the airway open; if there is a convulsion, you can put a small towel pad in the mouth to prevent tongue bites; do not attempt to wake the patient and shake his body and head. At the same time, contact an ambulance to take the patient to the hospital in time.  Before escorting the patient, ask the first aid station or local doctor to check the patient, measure blood pressure, observe pupils, breathing or pulse. If the patient is critical, temporary treatment should be done. Those with elevated blood pressure should be given antihypertensive drugs, and dilated pupils or difficulty breathing often indicate cerebral edema and increased intracranial pressure, which should be treated with dehydrating agents immediately.  Protect the patient during transport to the hospital. If there is no emergency vehicle, a flatbed tricycle can be used to escort the patient; along the way, special personnel should protect the patient’s head to avoid violent head shaking and vibration; the position of the head should be tilted to the side to facilitate the flow of vomit from the mouth, so as not to accidentally enter the trachea suffocation; those with respiratory distress can be given oxygen inhalation; if the patient is still clear, more persuasion and comfort should be given If the patient is still conscious, give more persuasion and comfort so as not to aggravate the condition by excessive mental tension.  The patient should be sent to the hospital to avoid long-distance transport, as far as possible to local treatment. As stroke is a common disease, hospitals are generally equipped to treat it. Sending the patient to the nearest hospital can provide timely treatment and reduce the shaking and bumps in the road. Long-distance transport is sometimes very dangerous and can lead to a sudden deterioration of the condition, depriving the patient of the opportunity to be rescued.
