He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.<br /><br />RECOGNIZING A STROKE<br /><br />Remember the "3" steps, <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">STR</span></strong>.<br /><br />Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.<br /><br />The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.<br /><br />Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">STR</span></strong></div><div> </div><div>S - Ask the individual to <span style="color:#ff0000;">SMILE</span> .<br />T - <span style="color:#ff0000;">TALK</span>. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently).<br />R - Ask him or her to <span style="color:#ff0000;">RAISE</span> BOTH ARMS .<br /><br />If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call ambulace immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#000066;">NOTE</span></strong> : Another 'sign' of a stroke is:<br /><br />1. Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue.<br />2. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2337587906130526696-5708812929204009201?l=strokesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>TheseMobileTimeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04034183560266271337noreply@blogger.com0
