Customer question:
What are the signs of GROM in stroke? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted.
Symptoms of a stroke can vary depending on the type of stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) and the affected part of the brain. Common GROM characters include:
Speech (S): The person may lose the ability to speak properly or understand speech. We say a simple sentence to the patient and ask him to repeat it. A healthy person will repeat it without difficulty, while a patient with an acute stroke will have difficulty remembering it, and will have even more difficulty repeating it or will not be able to repeat it correctly at all.
Arms (A): One-sided weakness or paralysis of the face, arm, or leg often occurs. The patient is asked to extend both arms at shoulder height. A healthy person can keep them in this position for a long time without any problems, while a patient with an acute stroke immediately loses one arm.
Face (F): In a healthy person, the lips are symmetrical, but a patient with an acute stroke has one side drooping. We ask the patient to give us a big smile.
Minute (H): If you notice these signs in a relative or someone else, do not hesitate, but call 112 IMMEDIATELY and tell the dispatcher that you reasonably believe that you have a person with you who has been hit acute stroke. This is important, as the dispatcher will send an ambulance as soon as possible, which will then transport the patient to a medical institution where not only the appropriate equipment is available 24 hours a day, but also personnel who know how to care for a patient with an acute stroke.< /p>
