中風分為缺血性(血管阻塞)與出血性(血管爆裂)。腦部細胞在缺氧狀態下每分鐘會死亡約 190 萬個,因此「時間就是大腦」。除了 FAST 口訣外,也要注意突然的視力模糊或平衡感喪失。
Strokes are categorized into ischemic (vessel blockage) and hemorrhagic (vessel rupture). Brain cells die at a rate of approximately 1.9 million per minute during oxygen deprivation; therefore, "Time is Brain." In addition to the FAST mnemonic, one should be alert to sudden blurred vision or loss of balance.
