A stroke is a medical emergency. Every minute counts. Under the leadership of Dr. Praveen Gupta, Marengo Asia Hospital offers round-the-clock emergency thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy.
If you observe any of these symptoms in yourself or someone else, call the emergency stroke helpline immediately.
Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the smile uneven?
Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask them to repeat a simple sentence.
If the person shows any of these signs, even if the symptoms go away, check the time and call us immediately.
When a stroke strikes, millions of brain cells die every minute. Reversing this damage is highly dependent on how quickly blood flow is restored.
Within 4.5 Hours: Clot-dissolving IV thrombolysis injection can be administered to open blocked arteries.
Within 24 Hours: Advanced mechanical thrombectomy (catheter-guided clot removal) can save patients with large blood vessel blockages.
Keep the patient calm and lay them down on their side (recovery position) if they are unconscious or vomiting.
DO NOT give any food, water, or aspirin. Swallowing reflexes are often impaired during a stroke, posing a severe choking hazard.
Note down the exact time when you first observed symptoms. This is crucial for selecting the right treatment protocol.
Watch patients share their recovery journeys with Dr. Praveen Gupta in their own words.
