MUST KNOW Signs of a Stroke

You have to "BEFAST" with stroke patients. The mnemonic BEFAST can be used to help you evaluate this neurological emergency. I look forward to seeing you succeed in EMT/Paramedic school.
Be great,

This training as an elementary school child saved my grandfathers life when he had a stroke and I recognized and called my parents who in turn sent an ambulance immediately!

[@jamieh8101]

Evan, you’re STILL the man! Thanks for all your content! 👊🏻

[@TheParamedicCoach]

Thank you!

[@lyfandeth]

These are the things that should be taught in school.

[@carsondudley7128]

T - Time is important because ischemic strokes (from a bloodclot) can only be treated with "clotbusters" in the first three hours after symptom onset, which is why they say "be fast!"

[@chrisvinciguerra4128]

I think the nature of it being an emergency medical event is why it you should “be fast” more than specifically because of that certain treatment window for a specific type of stroke.

[@yaakovchavoly3318]

T for TPA 😂

[@breakfastberrito8990]

4.5 hours

[@amandabass04]

Within 4.5 hrs and not 3

[@carsondudley7128]

3 hours remains the ideal standard, and limited evidence exists to support benefit beyond this time frame. @@amandabass04

[@blessed.crafter]

The fact I saved myself using this strategy! It's terrifying but I'm glad I was taught this in school.

[@7thgrader07]

My grandpa had a stroke in 2019, wheelchair bound, tried to get into his wheelchair, couldn't grip it well, slurred speech, facial droop. Medics arrive, transport him to the downtown hospital, since they were better equipped for stroke pts. We placed him in a home for recovery month later he passes. While on phone with dispatch we did the test. Time- 30mins from being normal self was when we noticed

[@GodFist215]

I just got passed this chapter in emt school thanks for hint’s always highly appreciated

[@Victoria-nx6rr]

[@Mslacybaby]

Can you do a video on what are the steps to getting a person treatment that's having a stroke please

[@pammiasmr9068]

I have personally experienced witnessing a few strokes. I have seen their eyes tracking slow or separately. Extremely slow reactions, movements. One had dizziness and vomiting, with double vision, unless one eye was closed.

[@mettlesomeknight9018]

I like pneumonic NEWFAST, nausea/vomiting, eye change (partial blindness/vision loss), facial droop, arm drift, speech change, terrible headache

[@matthewyanez5340]

HURRY TO THE CT SUITE!

[@xo_ashleynicole255]

This is awesome, thank you

[@user-bi1in3xb9x]

Thank you for information

[@xjameslove44]

Thank you

[@TheParamedicCoach]

Welcome!

[@knighthauler2529]

Also use asking them to smile to help determine if it is a heart attack. Rule out stroke if they can smile.

[@vickiebeverly931]

I have always had horrible migraines. And I often wondered if I'd be able to tell the difference.

[@shoaibhussain21]

Exactly was helpful

[@corbingrieves4505]

T really means Time to call 911 (or your local emerg #)

[@crissranger8925]

Ugh I know this tooo well since high-school cuz on my mama side of the family nothing but strokes and heart attacks !

[@israeloplays]

My question now is what are the things that we should do?

[@Rahkoi]

I'm about to have a stroke reading the randomly highlighted subtitles Good advice, though.

[@aaronbrown4390]

Or as we say in the UK Fast Face arms speech and time it's a lot quicker way of getting medical help

[@NoName-yz7dw]

Be fast. I'm so fast I didn't even !watch the video I just started running!

[@Music-kf6jt]

How can I improve my skills when am learning alone onlline 😢 You've really given me so much hope

[@ayyonmichaels9731]

I'm learning alone as well. It does feel overwhelming.

[@ATHEIST522]

Brother I have only 2 symptoms there is cold weather so suddenly I feel tired and dizzy i feel some weakness but not feel that much weak like u say my eyes perfectly see and i.m 14 years old

[@brinthstacey2080]

With all that test bro is already on the ground 😂

[@evelynnelson3195]

*me realizing this is what my doctor had me do when he found out I had nerve issues* 😐

[@laurapeterson559]

E- also the terrifying experience of watching one pupil blow. That's never a good sign. Thankfully the worst time I saw that was while waiting for OR staff to come to get her.

[@eman1757]

Dude you need to get to the ER as soon as possible. You will never know if is a cloth or hemorrhagic stroke. Signs and symptoms are really similar some cases are the same.

[@princessmissy50]

Also, when you ask a question do they give you a right answer? When you see them unable to do something they normally do, that's a red flag.

[@StephenRWilliams]

How many failed criteria are required to call 911?

[@sunflower88639]

😢😢😢We lost our mommy due to the stroke.

[@israeloplays]

Surgery po kailangan for Blood Clot

[@HumanEarth-fo4hf]

oh i thought this was going to say how to help someone or what to do (other than calling an ambulance)

[@fahad_hassan_92]

So I am constantly having a stroke

[@Mister_G_Point6969]

now listen there are "Mini Strokes" and "Mini Heart Attacks" like no permanent Damage but if they add up... that is leading to a "Major Stroke & Heart Attack"...you ignore that "Signs" its too late...the Body itself warns you "Months" before heavy Damage to your Body...so its very important to listen to even simple Pains and "abnormal" Disfunctions...just sayin...i did not wrote that whole paragraph for nothing...it happened to me...take care of your self Fellas :) :) :)

[@insertnamehere6695]

Doing that for like 5-10 minutes later

[@qwer01230]

Don’t forget to check blood sugar before calling stroke alert 🙈

[@rustthelion8270]

Ask the patient to say puffed pastry. Thatll get em

[@johnspinelli9396]

I thought T means Time to go to the hospital

[@TT-xg7qd]

First sign of stroke is in mouth, eye, then ear will be in pain...

[@davidperry4013]

T - Time to call 911

[@accountemail9712]

Stroke symptoms are similar to bells palsy.

[@gabrielclark8169]

Also G. Make sure they’re not diabetic

[@Booyahkacha]

Oxygen asap too limit lasting brain damage. The faster a stroke patient get oxygen less chance of permanent brain damage

[@ragapple1mark895]

Be aware none of this is exclusive of stroke- MS warrior tired of being called stroke case.

[@kukulele]

after all of these youtube tests hes is already dead
