    You have to "BEFAST" with stroke patients. The mnemonic BEFAST can be used to help you evaluate this neurological emergency. I look forward to seeing you succeed in EMT/Paramedic school.
    Be great,

    This training as an elementary school child saved my grandfathers life when he had a stroke and I recognized and called my parents who in turn sent an ambulance immediately!

    I wish I had known this. My dad had a stroke, and I didn't recognize the signs. I didn't call an ambulance because I thought he was just having a nightmare, and my older brother said not to bother because he was fine. Now I feel guilty for life. The doctor said we could have stopped it if we had called as soon as possible.

    T - Time is important because ischemic strokes (from a bloodclot) can only be treated with "clotbusters" in the first three hours after symptom onset, which is why they say "be fast!"

    • @chrisvinciguerra4128
      @chrisvinciguerra4128 Год назад +7

      I think the nature of it being an emergency medical event is why it you should “be fast” more than specifically because of that certain treatment window for a specific type of stroke.

    • @carsondudley7128
      @carsondudley7128 6 месяцев назад

      3 hours remains the ideal standard, and limited evidence exists to support benefit beyond this time frame. @@amandabass04

    I have personally experienced witnessing a few strokes. I have seen their eyes tracking slow or separately. Extremely slow reactions, movements. One had dizziness and vomiting, with double vision, unless one eye was closed.

    My grandpa had a stroke in 2019, wheelchair bound, tried to get into his wheelchair, couldn't grip it well, slurred speech, facial droop. Medics arrive, transport him to the downtown hospital, since they were better equipped for stroke pts. We placed him in a home for recovery month later he passes. While on phone with dispatch we did the test. Time- 30mins from being normal self was when we noticed

    Something important to note for people watching this is not all strokes will look like someone disoriented with one side out of commission. They can be someone having a lot of trouble making sentences and disoriented, because strokes can happen in different parts of the brain

    now listen there are "Mini Strokes" and "Mini Heart Attacks" like no permanent Damage but if they add up... that is leading to a "Major Stroke & Heart Attack"...you ignore that "Signs" its too late...the Body itself warns you "Months" before heavy Damage to your Body...so its very important to listen to even simple Pains and "abnormal" Disfunctions...just sayin...i did not wrote that whole paragraph for nothing...it happened to me...take care of your self Fellas :) :) :)
