Stroke symptoms: Time is survival - Mayo Clinic Health System
#mayoclinichealthsystem #StrokeAwareness #ActFAST #MayoClinicHealthSystem
Every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a stroke. This Mayo Clinic Health System video delves into the critical importance of recognizing stroke symptoms quickly to prevent irreversible damage. When a stroke occurs, the brain is deprived of essential blood flow and oxygen, leading to the loss of brain cell function. Immediate medical attention is crucial, as the window for effective stroke treatment narrows rapidly after symptom onset.
Recognizing the signs of a stroke can be lifesaving, and the FAST acronym is a quick guide to detection: facial drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulties and to call 911.
