Stroke is usually referred to as a stroke in medical terms. Clinical symptoms of stroke are sudden onset of weakness or numbness of one side of the limbs, numbness of one side of the face or crooked corners of the mouth, slurred speech and accompanied by impaired consciousness. The treatments for stroke include medication and surgery.
Before the onset of stroke, there may be aura manifestations such as numbness and weakness of one side of the limbs, and in acute attack, there may be unilateral facial numbness, crooked mouth, weakness or numbness of one side of the limbs, nausea and vomiting, and even varying degrees of impaired consciousness and paralysis of the limbs, and so on.
Patients with stroke can use neuroprotective drugs such as edaravone and cytarabine as prescribed by the doctor. For patients with non-cardiac ischemic stroke, antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin can be used; for patients with ischemic stroke accompanied by atrial fibrillation, drugs such as warfarin and low molecular heparin can be used for anticoagulation; patients with hemorrhagic stroke can use antiemetic drugs such as bacitracin.
Thrombolytic drugs such as alteplase may also be used for acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours of onset. Treatment of stroke also includes oxygen inhalation, correction of water and electrolyte balance, and surgical procedures such as craniectomy and debridement if necessary.
Patients diagnosed with stroke should consult a doctor in a timely manner, and should follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment, and all drugs should be used under the guidance of the doctor.
