This lesson focus on a stroke. This specific medical emergency is defined in the lesson. Signs of an individual suffering a stroke are explained. As a stroke is a neurological emergency, time is critical. If you suspect a person is having a stroke, immediately call 911. CPR is potentially necessary for these situations.

A stroke, or sometimes called a brain attack, is a medical emergency caused by a blocked blood vessel or bleeding in the brain.

Individuals experiencing a stroke will have noticeable neurological deficits, such as slurred or unintelligible speech, facial droop, numbness, weakness on one side of the body, difficulty walking or maintaining balance, loss of vision, severe headache, and/or loss of consciousness.

Stroke is a neurological emergency, so time is critical. If you suspect someone having a stroke, immediately call 911. Help the individual sit or lie down. Retrieve an AED and a first aid kit. Record the time that the neurological symptoms were noted and the last time the individual was free of symptoms. Be prepared to perform CPR if needed.
