Spot the signs of STROKE
• Face drooping: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop or look uneven?
• Arm weakness: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward or feel weak?
• Speech difficulty: Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Is their speech slurred or are they having trouble speaking or understanding?
• Time to call emergency services: If you see any of these signs, call for help immediately.
Other signs and symptoms
• Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body
• Sudden confusion or trouble speaking/understanding speech
• Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
• Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination
• Sudden, severe headache with no known cause

Every second counts, act fast

• Call for an ambulance immediately (10177 OR 082911 OR 084124). Do not drive the person to the hospital yourself. Paramedics can begin life-saving treatment on the way and notify the hospital in advance to prepare the stroke team.
• Time the symptoms. Take note of when the symptoms first began. This is vital information for doctors, as certain clot-busting treatments for ischemic stroke are most effective when given within 4.5 hours of symptom onset.
• Position the person comfortably. Help the person lie down on their side with their head slightly elevated and supported, in case they vomit.
• Loosen tight clothing. Remove or loosen any constrictive clothing around the neck and chest to help with breathing.
• Check for breathing. If the person loses consciousness and stops breathing, begin CPR immediately if you are trained.
• Avoid giving food or drink. The ability to swallow can be impaired during a stroke, so do not give the person anything to eat or drink to prevent choking.
• Stay with the person. Never leave a person experiencing a stroke alone. Your presence can be comforting, and you can monitor them for any changes in their condition.
