Time is Brain: Stroke Treatment from Emergency Care to Recovery

Watch as we follow a patient’s journey from the ambulance ride to the emergency department to recovery after a stroke. This video shows a detailed look at the different stages of stroke care, from the initial neurological assessment to the rehabilitation.
Everyone should know the signs of stroke. Although most people who have strokes are 65 and older, anyone at any age can have a stroke.
Remember the acronym B.E.F.A.S.T. to identify stroke symptoms and call 9-1-1 quickly:
B - Balance: Loss of balance or coordination, dizziness
E - Eyes: Trouble seeing out of one or both eyes
F - Face: Facial weakness, uneven smile
A - Arm: Unable to lift both arms evenly, numbness, weakness
S - Speech: Difficulty speaking, slurred speech
T - Time: Call 9-1-1 and do not drive yourself or someone else to the hospital. Emergency medical services (EMS) know how to recognize stroke and take patients to a hospital that treats stroke.
It is critical to get treatment quickly after the onset of stroke symptoms to reduce the risk of long-term disability or death.
