9-1-1
  • Treatment should begin within 3 hours.
  • Get patient to a hospital FAST, even if symptoms go away.

F.A.S.T.
  • Face: ask person to smile - look for droop on one side
  • Arms: ask person to lift up both arms - see if one arm drifts downward
  • Speech: ask person to repeat a short phrase - check for slurring words
  • Time: call 9-1-1 for any of these symptoms immediately. Note how long it's been since you've seen the subject appear and behave normally.
  • FASTer treatment = Better recovery
