Stroke is a medical emergency where every minute of delay can mean permanent loss of brain function. The acronym BE-FAST is a simple way to remember the warning signs: Balance loss, Eyesight changes, Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, and Time to call for emergency help immediately.
Our neurology department provides 24×7 emergency stroke care backed by neurocritical care facilities and advanced diagnostics including EEG, NCV and sleep studies for related neurological conditions. The sooner a stroke patient reaches appropriate care, the greater the chance of preventing lasting disability.
If you notice sudden weakness, slurred speech, or facial drooping in yourself or someone around you, do not wait to see if it passes — head to the nearest emergency department immediately.
