Because the faster those affected are treated, the better their chances of recovery.<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"h_5587937554801710956485283\"><strong>&#8222;Be Fast&#8220; &#8212; The extension<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In recent years, the acronym has been expanded to &#8222;be fast&#8220;. This addition integrates further criteria to enable an even more precise diagnosis. The <strong>&#8222;B<\/strong> &#8220; stands for <strong>&#8222;Balance&#8220;<\/strong>, which indicates that sudden balance problems can be another sign of a stroke. . The <strong>&#8222;E &#8222;<\/strong> in &#8222;Be fast&#8220; refers to <strong>&#8222;Eyes&#8220;<\/strong>, because sudden visual disturbances, especially loss of vision on one side or double vision, can also be alarming signs of a stroke. This extension of the test enables healthcare professionals to identify potential strokes more quickly and accurately, improving the chances of treatment and patient care overall.<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"2985\" id=\"h_3092032435091710956496322\"><strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">First aid in the event of a stroke<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"3039\">After a stroke, the person affected may not be able to speak. It is therefore particularly important to educate and reassure them. Raise your upper body slightly and undo any restrictive clothing such as a collar or tie. This makes breathing easier.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"3039\">As the affected person may not be able to interact with the environment and make themselves noticed, check their consciousness and breathing regularly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"3039\">Do not give the person anything to eat or drink!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"3289\">If the person is unconscious but breathing, you should place them in the recovery position (on their paralyzed side). Check your breathing and pulse regularly here too.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: hidden; border-color: white;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-238367 aligncenter size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/teora-xr.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/03\/Schwindel-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teora-xr.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/03\/Schwindel-2-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/teora-xr.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/03\/Schwindel-2-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">The emergency doctor checks the person&#8217;s consciousness, blood pressure and heart rate on the spot and delivers them to a hospital, ideally with a stroke unit.
