Education about Stroke
Definition
Stroke is a condition that occurs when the
blood supply to the brain is interrupted or
reduced due to a blockage called (ischemic
stroke) or rupture of blood vessels called
(hemorrhagic stroke).
Etiologi
‘’then here are some causes of stroke’’
1. Ischemic Stroke : Blood clots often
result from atherosclerosis, which is
the buildup of fatty deposits in the
inner lining of blood vessels.
2. The cause of hemorrhagic stroke is the
rupture of a blood vessel in the brain.
This condition causes blood to not
flow in the brain's blood vessels to
deliver oxygen to the brain tissue.
‘’ Besides that, the main factors for the
occurrence of stroke disease are: ‘’
1. High blood pressure
2. smoking habit
3. heart disease
4. genetics
5. obesity
6. age
Types
‘’There are two types of stroke: ‘’
1. Ischemic stroke is a type of stroke that
occurs when the blood flow in the arteries
of the brain is blocked. This blockage can
be caused by a blood clot forming in the
blood vessels of another organ of the body.
2. Then hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a
blood vessel in the brain leaks or ruptures.
Brain hemorrhage can result from many
conditions that affect the blood vessels.
This condition causes parts of the body
controlled by the damaged area of the
brain to be unable to function properly.
FAST Method
‘’We can also recognize the early
symptoms of stroke using the FAST sign
method. ‘’
‘’FAST is a method that makes it easy to
recognize the early symptoms of stroke so
that it can be treated quickly. Here is a
more complete explanation of FAST: ‘’
FACE - One side of the face may be
paralyzed, visible and noticeable when
smiling, the corners of the lips are raised to
only one side, or the eyes appear droopy.
ARMS - A person who is suspected of
having a stroke because they are unable to
lift one or both of their arms due to
weakness, in addition to the arms may also
lose sensation, may also feel tingling.
SPEECH - Speech is disrupted or garbled,
even unable to speak at all even though
you remain conscious.
TIME - It is important to keep the above
signs in mind, especially if you are
currently living with or caring for someone
who is at high risk.
‘’ If you see any of these 3 symptoms, take
the person affected by stroke to the nearest
hospital for the necessary treatment.’’
