Stroke, apoplexy, and language: Stroke, phobia) is a term that refers to a local neurological deficit that is suddenly caused by cerebral blood flow abnormalities.
Stroke is a term for symptoms, and when it is referred to as a medical disease, it is called cerebrovascular accident (CVA).
In the United States, it is called the cerebrovascular stroke. It is often called paralysis by borrowing traditional medical expressions, but the word paralysis is a broader expression.
Strokes are largely classified as cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage.
Brain accounts for only 2% of body weight by weight, but blood flow to the brain is 15% of cardiac output and oxygen consumption is 20% of total body oxygen consumption.
Since the brain uses only glucose as an energy source, necrosis easily occurs even if the energy supply is stopped for a while. Therefore, cerebral blood flow abnormalities are closely related to brain damage.
According to the Korean Stroke Association, 98% of patients in the stroke patients report finding a hospital because of hemiplegia, speech disorders, visual disturbance, dizziness and severe headache. 9 The thrombolytic agent should be used to minimize the necrosis of brain cells when administered to the human body within 3 hours after the first occurrence of the stroke symptoms. This is called "golden time" because it can maximize the effect while reducing side effects such as cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, considering the time taken for CT and MRI imaging and diagnosis, it should be possible to reach the general hospital emergency room within 60 minutes. That way, you can expect the proper thrombolytic therapy.
