For instance, when someone experiences a hemorrhagic stroke, FAST signs and severe headaches may be experienced. For TIA, the signs may be experienced briefly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever the case, it is best to call 911 right away to provide proper acute stroke care. Though the awareness of doctors and paramedics about FAST signs varies, a lot of progress has been made in the stroke care system in Canada. For instance, Canadian paramedics are provided with stroke training.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To remember the signs of stroke more easily, remember the acronym FAST.<\/p>\n<p>Is the Face drooping?<br \>\nAre both Arms raised?<br \>\nIs the Speech slurred or jumbled?<br \>\nIt is Time to contact 911 immediately.<\/p>\n<p>These signs &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stroke"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
