What should we do if a family member has a sudden stroke? Acute cerebral infarctions occur suddenly, and the condition is critical with a high mortality rate. Many patients, once afflicted, may faint abruptly and lose consciousness. If not rescued in time, it can endanger their lives. In such cases, prompt on-site emergency treatment by family members is crucial. Here are some steps to follow:
1. Immediately dial 120 for emergency assistance.
2. Check vital signs. If breathing and heartbeat have stopped, perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
3. If conscious, lay the patient flat on their back with the head slightly backward and cover them with a blanket for warmth.
4. Maintain a supine position for an unconscious patient to keep the airway open.
