 Hello everybody. Good morning. I am Prakash Ayesh Barshan. I am a Surgeon. I am a Surgeon. I am a pulse suppressor at the hospital. October 29th is marked as the World Stroke Day. And it is being decided by the World Stroke Organization to create awareness of the importance of the stroke and how devastating the stroke is. The statistics when we talk about the statistics of the stroke are very, very devastating. One in four can have a stroke in their lifetime. At least 25% of the population in the world are at risk of having a stroke once in their lifetime. So this is a very, this is the commonest disorder with the highest disability rate. And second leading cause of death are all the medical conditions in the world. There are some other starting factors about stroke. 15 to 80% of the people with a stroke will be disabled throughout their life. Obesity is the single most important risk factor according to, according to almost 12% of the risk factors. Now, the awareness of the stroke is so important that my general telescope can be prevented if immediate attention is taken and if the symptoms are not it, the awareness. The acronym for stroke awareness or the symptom awareness is called PFAST. B stands for balance. If you lose your balance it's an important red flag that something is happening in your brain. Next, E, if you have any loss of vision or if you have a double vision that also adds up to the symptoms. Then we come to F, if a patient, if a person suffers facial deviation there's an important sign that something is happening. Then comes to A, A deals with the arm. Anybody with sudden onset arm deepness would be likely to have a stroke. They have to reach the hospital at the earliest. Then comes S, yes we know from the speech. Loss of speech or a slurred speech is as good as the stroke. The last is C, dying is brain. Don't lose any time, reach the concerned hospital at the earliest possible time. This is the acronym of PFAST. The early stroke organization wants this PFAST Saturday to be made aware of the general property so that people who even see somebody suffering from these problems can immediately get to the hospital for an appropriate treatment at the appropriate time so that one person is safe, one life is safe and a normal person is going back to society. We have to be very fast here because every minute the brain is devoid of the effects of life millions and millions of neurons in the brain are going to die leading to permanent disability from the patient. The idea of this word stroke way is to create awareness in the society and try to detect the symptoms early reach the correct hospital at the proper time and then let the treatment be started within the first one number that is a golden number so that many lives can be saved and very easily it is time to go.
