Jakarta, Current stroke is not a rare disease considering the lifestyle of today's society. Stress, infrequent exercise, drinking alcoholic beverages, eating irregularly, and choosing fast food have become commonplace. And it turns out that these things trigger stroke. You also have to be aware of the symptoms. Fainting suddenly or experiencing a tilt of the mouth is one of the signs of a stroke. These people need to get first aid fast. However, it is not random. Because one-one can actually harm the patient. In an interview with detikHealth, Monday (18/3/2013), Dr. Ahmad Yanuar, SpS, said what actions should be taken immediately when someone has a stroke. The first thing to do is to take him straight to the hospital. The patient must receive reperfusion therapy. Reperfusion function to launch the clogged vessels earlier. In the nearest time after the incident took place, the patient must immediately take action to minimize the risk, explained the neurologist from the University of Indonesia. As is known, there are two causes of stroke, namely blockage and bleeding in the brain. This blockage must be addressed immediately to prevent a worse impact. 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. So, be wise in processing information and immediately treat the patient by taking him to the hospital. However, it would be better if you can prevent this disease by maintaining your lifestyle from now on because prevention is better than cure
