Lately we often get broadcast information via BBM about first aid for stroke sufferers, the broadcast message sounds roughly as follows: a person who has a sudden stroke (falls from the toilet, etc.), the blood vessels to the brain will burst little by little . Remember, to overcome this do not be nervous / panic. If the victim is at the scene such as in the bathroom / bedroom / living room etc. Do not be moved to another place, because it will accelerate the rupture of blood vessels, and do not let the patient fall again. The first aid method for stroke sufferers is to bleed the victim's blood using a burnt/sterilized needle which is then inserted into the tip of each finger until 1-2 drops of blood come out. If the blood does not come out, it can be massaged until it comes out, after which the victim will wake up after a few minutes. If the victim's mouth is tilted, pull the earlobe until it is red and directly pierce the bottom of the earlobe with a sterile needle until 1-2 drops of blood come out. After the victim is conscious and his mouth has recovered, then he is taken to the doctor / hospital. Usually people who have a stroke will have their blood vessels burst more quickly due to shocks on the way to the hospital / doctor. The person may become unconscious / faint and will usually be disabled / paralyzed. Remember, the first aid method for stroke sufferers is to REMOVE BLOOD from the finger of the person affected by the STROKE, then we can already help the person from the STROKE disease that afflicts them. To get accurate information for the common good, CuitNews conducts searches and looks for various references about whether the broadcast above is true or not. The following is a summary of information obtained by CuitNews from various sources: dr. Ahmad Yanuar, SpS dismissed the truth. So far there is no such research, it is not known whether the action is effective or not, the neurologist from the University of Indonesia told detikHealth. This is also confirmed by dr. Fritz Sumantri, SpS. What must be underlined is that medicine departs from research and trials. As for the way beyond that there has been no research. At least the security is not guaranteed. Until now medical science does not know such a method, so we also do not know its effectiveness, he stressed. The only action that must be taken immediately is to be taken to the hospital and given reperfusion action at the fastest hour. About 3-6 hours after the incident, the patient must be rushed to the hospital for medical treatment, added Dr. Ahmad. The patient should immediately get a complete examination of his condition. So, a finger prick or puncture under the ear is not the right way because it will not remove the blockage or bleeding that occurs in the patient's brain. The same thing was confirmed by Dr. Fritz Sumantri, SpS. He said that patients should be taken directly to the hospital instead of being stabbed or just taken to the clinic. It is not true that patients should not be transferred anywhere, instead they must be immediately taken to the hospital. The danger of the needling method does not exist, it's just that if the patient is quickly taken to the hospital, the possibility of recovery will also be fast and the treatment will not be too late, he said. It says that this will relieve blood pressure and relieve symptoms. this advice has no scientific basis, even dangerous. Forcing stroke victims to sit up is not a good idea because it will result in a drop in blood pressure. It is best to keep the victim lying down. Stabbing the victim's finger is also a bad idea, not only because it's pointless, but also because it's a waste of time. The sooner contacting medical personnel the better, stroke patients must be treated promptly and appropriately, every minute will be very valuable. Only emergency medical care can help stroke victims, and the results of the efforts of experts will only be optimal if they help no later than 3 hours after the attack. We hope that this summary of information about how to give first aid to stroke sufferers that we often get via broadcast messages can be understood together and we can draw our own conclusions which are right and wrong. Do not be wrong in drawing conclusions and actions, because this is very dangerous for stroke sufferers and can even be helpless.
