What to do if someone is having a stroke?
Recognizing stroke is very important, this is how you do prehospital stroke recognition.
Face drooping - Ask the person to smile, and see if one side is drooping. One side of the face may also be numb, and the smile may appear uneven.
Arm weakness - Ask the person to raise both arms. One can know if there is a weakness or numbness in one hand.
Speech difficulty - People having a stroke may slur their speech or have trouble speaking at all. Speech may be incomprehensible. Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence and look for any speech abnormality.
Time to call 108 - If a person shows any of the symptoms above, even if the symptoms went away, call 108 and get the person to a hospital immediately.
What is the first-line management for Anaphylaxis?
Anaphylaxis is one of the most common allergic reaction, if not treated in time it may be fatal. Anaphylaxis is an acute, potentially fatal, multiorgan system reaction caused by the release of chemical mediators from mast cells and basophils. The classic form involves prior sensitization to an allergen with later reexposure, producing symptoms via an immunologic mechanism. Initially, patients often experience pruritus and flushing. Other symptoms can evolve rapidly, such as the following:
Dermatologic/ocular: Flushing, urticaria, angioedema, cutaneous and/or conjunctival injection or pruritus, warmth, and swelling
Respiratory: Nasal congestion, coryza, rhinorrhea, sneezing, throat tightness, wheezing, shortness of breath, cough, hoarseness, dyspnea
Cardiovascular: Dizziness, weakness, syncope, chest pain, palpitations
Gastrointestinal: Dysphagia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, bloating, cramps
Neurologic: Headache, dizziness, blurred vision, and seizure (very rare and often associated with hypotension)
Other: Metallic taste, the feeling of impending doom
As any case anaphylaxis please rush to the nearest emergency as early as possible
