網路醫訊：中風急救聞望切
血栓中風
中風是寒冬突發最常發生的急病，搶救時間點至為關鍵，醫師特別強調在病發3小時內搶救，幾乎都可全癒，問題往往是現場的初步症狀的判斷。
以下是加拿大同鄉傳回來的醫訊，中風及時聞望切，值得參考：
S.T.R. 中風初判三步驟：
1. Smile 微笑，要求笑一笑的反應，如笑不出來就算重症。
2. Talk 言談，簡單對話，失語或辭不達意，也是重症。
3. Raise both hands 舉雙手，若反應遲鈍或不舉，已是重症。
若有任何其中一種症狀，即應叫救護車送醫。再不然，
4. Stick out Your Tongue 伸舌頭，若伸不直或左歪右斜，即重症再確認。
通常初症很容易被忽略而造成為時已晚之憾！美加醫學已夠發達，尚且要求一
般民眾普做功德，台灣在這方面的自力救濟更是迫切。原文資訊如下：

THIS IS GOOD TO KNOW |
INFORMATION EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW........................
Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue
I will continue to forward this every time it comes around!
STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.
My nurse friend sent this and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. ! ; I agree.
If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. Seriously. Please read:
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening
Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this...
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
! RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. I have done my part. Have you?
