This page delves deeper into stroke symptoms, quick tests, and emergency care procedures.
Signs and symptoms of stroke include:
The FAST test is a quick method to identify stroke symptoms:
Emergency care for stroke involves:
Example: The recovery position involves laying the person on one side with the bottom arm raised above the head and the top knee bent forward to rest on the ground.
Highlight: It's crucial to remember the time that stroke symptoms first began and relay this information to emergency staff.
This page focuses on seizure prevention strategies and managing life with seizure disorders.

Strategies for living with a seizure disorder:
Highlight: Life expectancy after stroke and seizure can be improved with proper management and treatment.
Long-term treatment for stroke includes:
Vocabulary: Mini stroke seizure, also known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA), can have similar symptoms to a full stroke but typically resolves within 24 hours.
This final page emphasizes stroke prevention strategies and provides additional information on seizures and strokes.
To reduce the risk of stroke:
Highlight: Understanding the differences between stroke vs seizure symptoms is crucial for proper emergency response.
Example: First aid for stroke at home includes recognizing symptoms using the FAST method and immediately calling emergency services.
Definition: The 3 's rule of seizures first aid are: Stay calm, Stay with the person, and Stay safe.
Vocabulary: Seizure hospital protocol typically involves monitoring, medication administration, and diagnostic tests to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

This page provides an overview of seizures and their emergency care procedures.
Seizures are abnormal patterns of electricity in the brain that can cause convulsions and involuntary muscle movements. They can be caused by various factors including brain damage, epilepsy, high fever, or consuming drugs or poison.
Signs and symptoms of seizures may include:
Emergency care for seizures involves:
Highlight: It's crucial to call 911 if the seizure lasts longer than five minutes, the person has never had a seizure before, or if they have two or more seizures in a row.
Definition: Stroke, also known as a brain attack or cerebrovascular accident, occurs when the brain doesn't receive an adequate supply of blood, potentially causing severe brain damage.
