<h4><span style="background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #4a7b8c;">The Beginning &#8230; of Stroke Symptom</span></span></h4>
<p>As we all know that blood is very important to the body and organs, especially the “Brain” When there are some abnormalities such as blood obstruction that impact the blood flow. In the area of the brain where the blood unable to reach then would stop functioning. Sudden symptom like palsy may occur. If the blood runs back in time, that area of the brain would back to its function the symptoms would be relieved therefore, patient can feel better.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><span style="background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #4a7b8c;">Dangerous Signs We should not Overlook<br />
</span></span></h4>
<p>&#8220;Facial Palsy/Motor weakness/Imbalanced Walk/ Slurred Speech&#8221; symptoms of stroke that require you to go to a hospital as soon as they occur. The fastest treatment for this disease is using rt-PA while opening clogged vein so that the blood could flow to the brain in time. A process must be completed within 4 hours and 30 minutes. In addition, what you should know is that blood test and CT scan are required around 1 hour means patients must must reach a hospital within 3 hours it would be even better if you can make the patient reach there even faster for the best result.</p>

<h2><span style="background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #4a7b8c;"> &#8220;Rt-PA&#8221; can reduce the risk of disability.<br />
</span></span></h2>
<p>The use of rt-PA (Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator) based on body weight of patient. Mostly doctor uses only one bottle (50 mg contained) injected to the vein within 1 hour. According to a study said patient with acute stroke who receives this medicine by 30% could be safe from palsy or paralysis and if they are treated faster result would also be more effective. Thus, as soon as stroke occurs patient must be sent to the hospital immediately.</p>
<h2><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #4a7b8c;">Side Effects that may Happen after Using The rt-PA rt-PA</span></h2>
<p>The studies said 7 percent of the patients receiving the rt-PA might have bleeding inside the brain ,half of patient numbers have it which could lead them to death. For that reason ,we have to ensure doctor who provides treatment specialize or have sufficient expertise and experience about the disease to lower the risk that might happen during a process.</p>
