When Ictus Strikes, No Time to Waste
The signs of ictus
Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body.
Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding speech.
Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes.
Sudden trouble caminar, dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordination.
Sudden severe headache with no known cause.
If you think someone may be having a ictus, act F.A.S.T. and do the following test:
F—Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
A—Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
S—Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?
T—Time: If you see any of these signs, call ambulance right away.
Note the time when any symptoms first appear. This information helps salud care providers determine the best tratamiento for each person.
Once you or someone has had a ictus, it is important to actively start standard ictus rehabilitación terapia as early as possible. Recuperación is a long process and all effective measures can be used at different times to mejorar the damaged brain and limb functions, effectively prevent complications, reduce recurrence, disability and mortality rates, and mejorar the quality of patients’ life.
