Act Fast: recognize the signs of stroke so you can act F.A.S.T and save lives (PRNewsfoto/Stryker)

Stryker betont im Rahmen seines Einsatzes für Komplettlösungen für die Schlaganfallversorgung die Bedeutung, Anzeichen für einen Schlaganfall zu erkennen und möglichst rasch zu behandeln. Schlaganfälle gehören zu den häufigsten Todesursachen weltweit und sind pro Jahr für sechs Millionen Todesfälle sowie fünf Millionen Fälle von dauerhafter Behinderung verantwortlich.[1] Bei einem Schlaganfall gehen pro Minute rund 1,9 Millionen Neuronen unter. Daher müssen Warnzeichen eines Schlaganfalls unbedingt erkannt werden, damit eine schnelle Behandlung erfolgen und das Risiko von Langzeitfolgen reduziert werden kann.

Bei Schlaganfall gilt "FAST"
Es gibt mehrere typische Schlaganfallsymptome. Diese Anzeichen lassen sich mit dem sogenannten FAST-Test überprüfen: Die Abkürzung FAST steht für Face (Gesicht), Arms (Arme), Speech (Sprache) und Time (Zeit). "Face" bedeutet, dass das Gesicht des Betroffenen einseitig verzogen ist oder einer der beiden Mundwinkel beim Lächeln herabhängt. "Arms" steht dafür, dass der Betroffene die Arme nicht auf gleicher Höhe halten kann. "Speech" bedeutet, dass der Betroffene undeutlich spricht, keine sinnvollen Sätze bilden kann oder Anweisungen nicht versteht. Das vierte Element "Time" steht dafür, dass unbedingt sofort der Notarzt gerufen werden muss, wenn jemand solche Symptome zeigt.

Für bessere Kenntnisse über Schlaganfälle 

Der Welt-Schlaganfalltag, der von der World Stroke Organization (WSO) ins Leben gerufen wurde, umfasst eine jährliche Kampagne. Ziel ist die Information über Vorbeugung und Behandlung von Schlaganfällen. Stryker hofft, dass bald jeder die Symptome eines Schlaganfalls erkennen kann.

"Wir sind stolz darauf, uns aktiv für den Welt-Schlaganfalltag einsetzen zu können. Schlaganfälle mit ihren verheerenden Folgen kommen bei jährlich 17 Millionen Menschen vor", sagt Mark Paul, Präsident von Stryker Neurovascular. "Unsere Hoffnung besteht darin, dass wir durch eine kontinuierliche Informationskampagne zum Thema Schlaganfall im Lauf der Zeit die daraus folgenden Todesfälle und Behinderungen verringern können."

Wenn Sie mehr über Schlaganfälle wissen und andere über die Warnzeichen informieren möchten, besuchen Sie http://www.somesignssavelives.com. Die Website ist in acht Sprachen verfügbar: Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch, Italienisch, Portugiesisch, Spanisch, Mandarin und Japanisch.
