如何確認一個人突發中風預兆:
1. 要求他笑給你看(可由面部表情得知大腦活動狀況)
2. 要他舉起雙手
3. 要他說一句簡單的句子(例如我剛吃過飯)
如果對方有任何困難做出你要求的上述三件事中的一項, 立刻撥打緊急電話送醫
心臟病自救法
你經過很不順利的一天: 煩忙急躁憂心, 你在開車回家的路上, 即將接近家門, 但突感胸痛, 並蔓延至雙手雙肩和頸部, 甚至臉頰, 劇烈疼痛讓你懷疑能否開到家或至醫院急救, 你本人雖學過CPR心臟病突發急救法, 但此時卻無人幫你急救, 你心知在陷入昏迷前¸你只有10秒的寶貴時間. 你該怎麼救你自己:
1. 讓自己劇烈大聲的咳嗽, 用力不斷的咳¸ 此法和電擊類似, 促使心臟重新跳動
2. 每個劇咳的間隙, 用力深呼吸, 可幫肺及心吸入大量氧氣(和CPR人工呼吸法同理)
3. 重複做以上兩個動作, 直到你感覺心臟恢復正常跳動
4. 立刻進醫院急救室, 告訴醫生剛才發生的狀況, 做一個詳細的檢查
請將此信傳給你身邊的朋友, 說不定可救人一命

Subject: Is it a Stroke?
This might be a lifesaver if we can remember to ask the person to do three things! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say any bystander can recognize a stroke by:
* 1. Asking the individual to smile. You want to check if both sides of the face are the same.
* 2. Asking him or her to raise both arms. This is difficult for a stroke victim to do.
* 3. Asking the person to speak a simple sentence. If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn to use the above three questions procedure. They presented their conclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual meeting last February. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage.
Subject: Is it a Heart Attack?
A cardiologist said: "If everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can bet that at least one life would be saved." Read this...That saved life could be yours !
Let's say that you're driving home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. You've trained in CPR, but unfortunately, the person who taught the course didn't tell you how to perform it on yourself.
SUBJECT: HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. The deep breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without letup until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and the coughing movements squeeze the heart and keeps the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims could get to a hospital.
