Stroke has the characteristics of high incidence, high disability rate, high mortality rate and high recurrence rate.
Guo Ruiyou, director of the neurology center and director of the first department of Haici Medical Group, introduced that early recognition of stroke is very important, remember the BEFAST mantra: B: balance, the patient's balance is impaired; E: eye: blurred vision or double vision; F: face: crooked corners of the mouth on the face; A: arm: weakness of one upper limb; S:speach: slurred speech; T:time: Emergency medical evacuation. Stroke is a clinical emergency that requires emergency rescue in a race against time, and millions of nerve cells die every 1 minute delayed. Therefore, when the above manifestations occur, quickly dial 120, send the patient to a hospital with treatment capacity for emergency treatment, open the occluded blood vessel, restore cerebral blood flow, and improve the clinical treatment effect.
Strokes are generally divided into two main categories: hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke. Hemorrhagic stroke, also known as cerebral hemorrhage, is a stroke caused by blood vessel rupture and bleeding in the brain. Ischemic stroke, also known as cerebral infarction, is due to the impaired blood supply to the local brain tissue region, resulting in ischemic and hypoxic lesions of brain tissue. Common risk factors for stroke are: hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, heart disease, smoking, alcohol consumption, overweight, lack of exercise, etc.
Stroke can be prevented and controlled, and active and effective intervention in stroke risk factors can significantly reduce the incidence and recurrence rate of stroke, such as active treatment of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis and heart disease, etc., and do a good job in primary prevention of stroke. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain a healthy diet, living habits, exercise regularly, maintain a comfortable mood, quit smoking and limit alcohol, and have regular physical examinations. Doing this can keep you away from stroke or even avoid it for life.
