Act F.A.S.T.

Recognise the symptoms of a Stroke and act at once.
FACE – Ask the patient to smile. Does one side of his face droop?
ARMS – Ask the patient to raise both arms. Has his arm become weak or numb?
SPEECH – Ask the patient to say something. Is his speech unclear or slurred?
TIME – If any of these symptoms crop up, it’s time to call a STROKE UNIT.

Survival is a stroke of luck when it’s a matter of time...

1.9 million Neurons are lost every minute in the acute phase of an ischemic stroke. Treatment can control the damage if the patient reaches the hospital soon, after the onset of an attack.
