Stroke tab hota hai jab dimaag ke ek hisse tak blood flow achanak ruk jaata hai — aksar ek clot se, kabhi ek bleed se. Oxygen se vanchit, brain cells minaton mein marne lagte hain. Isiliye stroke care samay ke khilaaf ek daud hai: jitni jaldi blood flow wapas aata hai, utna zyada dimaag bachta hai. Doctors iske liye ek phrase istemaal karte hain — "time is brain" (samay hi dimaag hai).

F.A.S.T. Check

Stroke pehchaanne ka sabse aasaan tareeka hai chaar letters yaad rakhna — F.A.S.T.:

  1. F — Face drooping (chehra latakna). Unhe muskuraane ko kahein. Kya chehre ka ek taraf latka ya sunn hai?
  2. A — Arm weakness (haath mein kamzori). Unhe dono haath uthaane ko kahein. Kya ek neeche gir jaata hai ya kamzor lagta hai?
  3. S — Speech difficulty (bolne mein dikkat). Unhe ek simple vaakya dohraane ko kahein. Kya woh latakti (slurred) ya ajeeb hai?
  4. T — Time to call for help (madad bulane ka samay). Agar aapko in mein se KOI bhi sign dikhe, to turant action lein — har minute maayne rakhta hai.

Kai asardaar stroke treatments sirf shuruaat ke kuch ghanton ke andar hi kaam karte hain — der ka har minute brain cells ki keemat par hota hai. Yeh kabhi bhi "ghar par dekhte hain" wali sthiti nahi hai.
