Are high-temperature days also a high-incidence period for stroke? Whether it is heatstroke or stroke, these tricks teach you to quickly screen

In the past few days, the “barbecue mode” has continued to work overtime in many places across the country, and the local maximum temperature has exceeded 40 ℃. “Hot” topic “Painting” network. The reporter learned from many hospitals that many people were sent to the doctor for “heat stroke”. Li Min, chief expert of the Neurointervention Expert Group of the Stroke Center Committee of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and chief physician of the Department of Neurology, reminded that stroke is still a high-incidence period in summer, and the prevention and treatment of stroke cannot be ignored.

Stroke is commonly known as stroke. According to the “China Cardiovascular Health and Disease Report 2021” recently released by the National Cardiovascular Disease Center, 2 out of every 5 deaths due to illness in China are due to cardiovascular disease. “Although the incidence of stroke is high in autumn and winter, in summer, due to the influence of high temperature factors, the blood vessels shrink due to the imbalance of electrolyte regulation, and the blood will become viscous, which may cause cerebral infarction due to plaque or thrombus blockage.” Li Min Say.

Recently, 68-year-old grandma Wang suddenly developed symptoms of inability to speak and weakness on the right side of the body while working outdoors. The companion thought that the old man was suffering from heat stroke and rushed him to the Sixth People’s Hospital of Nantong City. After diagnosis, the elderly is not a heatstroke, but a stroke. The hospital quickly activated the green channel, and the old man was rescued and treated.

Liu Chunfeng, a professor of neurology at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, said that from the perspective of the treatment process, the treatment process for stroke can be divided into three time periods. time. The second is the time from the stroke site to the stroke treatment center. The third is the time before the admission process is performed and thrombolytic therapy is started. In these three time periods, measures such as identification formulas, stroke maps, and pre-treatment windows can help patients receive timely treatment.

Acute ischemic stroke is caused by sudden occlusion of blood vessels in the brain resulting in cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. Therefore, rapid and correct identification becomes a key step. At this time, “120 Formulas for Stroke” can help patients and their families to identify at the first time – “1” to look at one face: asymmetry, skewed mouth angle; “2” to check two arms: parallel lift, unilateral weakness; “0” (Listening) Listening to language: Slurred speech, difficulty in expressing. If one of the above three symptoms occurs, you should immediately pick up the phone and dial 120, and send the patient to a hospital with a stroke green channel as soon as possible by ambulance.

In addition to the first step of quick identification, Liu Chunfeng also mentioned that in 2019, the “Jiangsu Province Stroke First Aid Map” was officially released in Nanjing. At present, the “Jiangsu Province Stroke First Aid Map” has created a “regional golden time treatment circle” for stroke patients in various regions, and established a regional integrated stroke treatment network centered on patients, so as to shorten the emergency treatment time and improve the stroke treatment rate.

“People with a high risk of stroke and their families can learn about hospitals with acute stroke treatment capabilities within the ‘one-hour golden treatment circle’ in the region. The patient is transferred to a qualified hospital with treatment conditions.” Liu Chunfeng said.
