Learn the F.A.S.T signs of stroke
What is a stroke?
A stroke happens when blood cannot get to the brain. It can be caused by a blocked or burst artery. Recognising signs of a stroke early can save someone's life. The Stroke Foundation has a guide to identifying stroke symptoms and acting quickly to help the patient.
Think… F.A.S.T.
The Stroke Foundation recommends the F.A.S.T. test as an easy way to remember the most common signs of stroke. Using the F.A.S.T. test involves asking these simple questions:
- Face Check their face. Has their mouth drooped?
- Arms Can they lift both arms?
- Speech Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you?
- Time Is critical. If you see any of these signs call 000 straight away.
