Think FAST !
Williamson ARH for Advanced Stroke Care
Stroke is the silent killer and every minute counts. If you think someone you know may be having an issue, just think F.A.S.T or F-A-S- T.
|
F stands for face, check the person's face to see if one side is drooping or is non- reactive.
A is for Arms. Ask the person to hold their arms out straight and if one drops that is another indicator.
S means Speech, so check to see if the person can talk or is slurring their speech.
T means time, remember, every second counts, so get them as quickly as possible to Williamson ARH.
