Phu Tho Stroke Center (Phu Tho General Hospital) received patient P.D.Q, 66 years old, from Lam Thao district, Phu Tho province. Two hours after being admitted to the hospital, the patient was attending a funeral at the church with his wife when he suddenly felt tired, then paralyzed completely in the right side. The patient received first aid on the spot by injecting ear drops.
After a period of time, the patient's condition did not improve, so he was taken to Phu Tho General Hospital, transferred to the Stroke Center in the third hour of the disease in a state of slow consciousness, complete paralysis of the right side of the person, difficulty speaking, and bleeding ear locations.
Immediately, the on-duty team started the emergency procedure for the patient during the golden hour of a stroke. Immediately after the patient had a 128-line CTA of the cerebral blood vessel and was determined to have no cerebral hemorrhage, no large-scale image of a blockage, and a blood clot in the vein was performed.
After thrombosis, the patient gradually improved his ability to speak, answered questions more clearly and accurately, and paralysis improved from complete paralysis in the right half of the person to the right hand to be able to grasp tightly and automatically stretch the right leg.
First aid such as a blood injection into the forearms or a blood injection into the ears delay the emergency care of stroke patients.
