It is at this point that our knowledge of medicine can be called invaluable. After all, the life of a relative is under threat.

Brainstroke( stroke)
This is an acute attack of circulatory disorders in the cerebral cortex. It develops only in the vessels of the brain. But it occurs under all sorts of circumstances: hemorrhage and spasm, as well as thrombosis. A certain part of the brain does not receive nutrition and its operability is maintained for a very short period of time. Hence the conclusion that urgent help is required in the pre-silt period. It is at this time that you should not have confusion, fear. You must be confident in your actions. They should be coherent and clear.

Initial symptoms of a brainstroke
There is a fairly simple and fairly easy test. With it, you can identify the initial signs of a stroke. It is easy and quick to remember:

Let the patient smile. You will see that his smile will be skewed( curve).This is because the part of the face stops the patient from obeying, and the corner of the mouth looks down. The tongue will also lie asymmetrically in the mouth. He will get the wrong shape, falling to one side.

Start with the patient to talk. You will immediately notice that his speech is incomprehensible to you. It can be compared with the speech of a person who is in a high degree of intoxication.

Ask the patient to raise their hands up. He will raise them, but one hand will be raised only slightly, this is from the affected side. In any case, the level of raised hands will be different.

The signs of a brain stroke will also be the following: a sharp and quite severe pain in the head even without apparent for this reason.

Partial or complete disconnection of the consciousness of a sick person. He begins to lose the ability to understand and comprehend the speech of surrounding people, its meaning. Loses the very ability to talk with others.

Dizziness and incorrect coordination of movements. A sense of balance is lost.

If you see any of these symptoms in a sick person, then contact the doctor immediately.

Assistance before the arrival of "emergency care"
When calling a doctor, try to describe the symptoms of the disease more accurately. A neurologist will come to the aid of the patient. But the dispatcher should understand this from your description of the symptoms.

Immediately put the patient, but so that the head was raised 30 degrees above the bed level. Anything will do: a pillow, a blanket or clothes.

The patient must be free and easy to breathe. Remove his belt from him, unbutton the gate. In the room, give access to fresh air by opening the window.

In case of nausea and vomiting, turn your head to one side. This position protects the upper respiratory tract from the vomit. Put the basin with a basin or a plastic bag. After the end of a fit of vomiting, it is advisable to cleanse his mouth very carefully.

Measure the patient's blood pressure before the doctor arrives and then immediately tell him the testimony. If the pressure is higher than normal, then let him take the medicines available in the house. If there is no medicine, then use a warm water bottle or a bottle of water, which must be put on your feet. To avoid burns, you need to check the water temperature.

Never fuss, a sick person should not see your fear or anxiety. Speak at a calm pace, providing any moral support.

Upon arrival of the doctor, give him a full picture of the event. Speak quickly, accurately and clearly, informatively, do not worry.

Remember that the course of the disease always depends on the first seconds of the pre-stroke state. Rapid interpretation of symptoms and quality first aid will help to save a person's life. And further rehabilitation will be successful.
