hbot and stroke: Is it the stroke that everybody knows about? Abegi forget about all the naked theories! From stroke detection, ct scan,to surgery how many hours?
Acupunture ko, nail puncture ni! Exanguination for more hypoxia, abi beeko to reduce BP ni?
Biko nu; If wishes were horses beggars would ride v-boot. Stroke has never been easy to treat.
If someone comes down with stroke just rush him to hospital for stabilisation. Doctors know what to do there. A lot of them can put heads together and come out with solution.
Having said that a high percentage will be discharged home with some stroke (with mild or serious paralysis) and physio will be recommended.
My info is that at this stage it takes ages for any other thing to work. If you really want to deal with the stroke effectively you give stroke what it deserves and that thing is oxygen under pressure. Many benefits come with it. Oxygen under increased pressure has a penetration effect. Both are synergistic.
This treatment is known as hyperbaric oxygen therapy (hbot).
HBOT is very effective for stroke recovery. The earlier treatment is started the faster the recovery. This therapy can be taken with other treatments but let the physician know the drugs the patient is receiving to make adjustments. Both groups of physician can work together for the benefit of the patient. All other health operators will also be involved eg; pharmacists, nurses, physiotherapists, nutritionists, lab scientists, drivers, porters, farmily members, (if I no call you no vex) etc. The involvement of every one makes the work easier for the patient.
The stroke patient is like an elephant and one pesin no dey carry am or chop am finish o.
Your friend 'Google' will tell you more: hbot and stroke.

The most important shorthand method to recognise a stroke patient are - :

FAST

Face - Dropped to one side, not able to smile or eye + mouth drooped

Arms - inability to lift both arms, sustaining such lift due to weakness or numbness

Speech - Slurred spoech + unable to talk

Time - Call an ambulance(if easily accessible) or rush patient to nearest hospital. Remember with a stroke patient, you cannot necessarily squeeze them into a tiny car/space......

Remember FAST if you suspect stroke......

A stroke occurs when the supply of blood to the brain is either interrupted or reduced. When this happens, the brain does not get enough oxygen or nutrients, and brain cells start to die. The loss of blood flow to the brain damages tissues within the brain.

Stroke may be caused by a blocked artery(typically blood clot) or the leaking or bursting of a blood vessel, but about 80 percent of strokes are caused by a blocked artery.

Symptoms of Stroke
(I) Paralysis, weakness or numbness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body.
(ii) Trouble with speaking and understanding speech
(iii) Trouble with seeing in one or both eyes.
(iv) Loss of balance and coordination.
(v) Drooping on one side of the face, or an uneven smile.
(vi) Severe headache with an unknown cause
Prompt Treatment is required to prevent the following outcomes :
a) Brain Damage
b) Long-term disability
c) Death

Treatment for Stroke
A Stroke is a medical emergency that needs immediate attention. The good news is, stroke can be treated completely, but it needs to be treated as quickly as possible to minimize brain damage.
