Stroke First Aid

(Expenditure of blood from the tip of the finger and the tip of the ear as an first aid for people with stroke).

One of the best ways to provide first aid to people whom get a stroke, but the attack does not cause side effects.

Here is some help and some things to note:

As is known, people who get the stroke, the smooth blood vessel of his brain have split on the slow progress. In such circumstances, facing this, do not need to panic but remain calm. The patient must remain on the place where he fell back (like in the bathroom, bedroom, etc.) and not to move, because movement of the people of the place he fell to another place will speed up the split process of smooth blood vessel in the brain.

People should be assisted to take the position that sits well in order not to fall again, at the time, expenditure of blood can be done best by using the syringe, but if not available then the sewing needle can be used. But all must be sterilized before the end of the road with the other hand is burned / heated on fire for some time.

After the needle ready, do pricking to the 10 of fingertip, transfixion point is about 1 cm from the fingertips of each finger end just get one bite of each finger in the hope that removing the 1 drop of blood. Expenditure of blood from the tip of the finger can also be assisted with a squeeze if the blood not out when the finger pierced, in a period of approximately 10 minutes and then the patient will regain consciousness.

When the mouth of the stroke sufferer looked oblique, the second lobe of the patient must be drawn up to pull-reddish color, then do it 2 times transfixion at each end of the helix so the blood will come out as much as 2 drops from each end of the helix. In just a few minutes form the mouth of the sufferer will become normal again. After the patient to recover the situation and there is no taste difference, which means, then take the patient to the doctor or hospital for further help.

First action above can help and rescuing the sufferer, but if the patien dropped suddenly because of stroke attack, and hurriedly transported to the hospital or to a doctor in order to get help, but that does not considered that shocks and shakes in the vehicle during travel can expedite the bleeding process in the brain, in the end the life of the sufferer can not be saved.

This is a loss for the community and country, while due to more attacks from the stroke is very chilling. Therefore people should know about the stroke first aid by expenditure of blood from the tip of the finger and the tip of the ear.
