  • About ServiceABOUT
Stroke is one of the most prevalent health problems in the United States–causing approximately 130,000 deaths each year. Despite this medical event’s prevalence, only 38% of respondents in one major survey “were aware of all the major symptoms and knew to call 9-1-1 when someone was having a stroke” (CDC).

When a stroke occurs, immediate medical care is essential. Every minute counts; getting treatment as quickly as possible could be the difference between life and death. 

Know the signs and symptoms of stroke. 

  • Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm or leg; numbness is often localized to just one side of the body.
  • A sudden sense of confusion is common in stroke victims. The victim may have difficulty speaking or understanding what is being said.
  • Sudden difficulty seeing (with one or both eyes).
  • Sudden severe headache with no clear cause.
  • Sudden trouble walking, which may include dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordination.

If you suspect someone is having a stroke, it is critical to act fast. There is a three-hour window following the first symptoms during which stroke victims may be eligible for the most effective treatments. After that three-hour window, the patient may not be eligible for those first-line therapies.


Act FAST

Act F.A.S.T. if you think someone is having a stroke:

  • 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 their speech slurred or strange?
  • T–Time: If you notice any of these three signs, call 9-1-1 immediately.

In the event of a stroke, call an ambulance so that first responders can begin potentially lifesaving treatment on the way to Glenwood Regional Medical Center. Do not attempt to drive yourself or a stroke victim to the hospital.

 

Are You at Risk?

Some stroke risk factors can’t be changed. These include age, family history, race, sex, and medical history.

  • Age: Risk for stroke doubles for each decade after age 55.
  • Family History: You may be at increased risk if you have a parent, grandparent, or sibling who has had a stroke.
  • Race: African-Americans are at a higher risk for death from stroke (compared to Caucasians), party due to higher risks of diabetes, hypertension and obesity.
  • Sex: Women have more strokes than men. Use of oral contraceptives and other hormonal therapies may increase a woman’s risk.
  • Medical History: if you have had a heart attack, stroke or “warning stroke” before, then you are at an increased risk.

Other risk factors may be managed. These include:

  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Carotid artery disease (or other forms of plaque buildup in arterial walls)
  • Cigarette smoking
  • Diabetes mellitus (all types)
  • Heart disease
  • High blood cholesterol
  • High blood pressure
  • Obesity and/or physical inactivity
  • Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
  • Poor diet
  • Sickle cell anemia
