Stroke Quiz Stroke Quiz The Stroke Quiz gives you a chance to test your knowledge on areas such as the signs of a stroke, national statistics on strokes and how to reduce your risk of having a stroke.
Medical Team The care given at the time of a stroke can mean the difference between a good outcome and a bad outcome – sometimes even between life and death.
Stroke Minutes Matter when you are having a stroke…so does expertise. The University of Colorado Hospital not only provides a level care not found elsewhere in the region, our 24/7 Stroke Alert System is designed to get that care to the patient as soon as possible before precious minutes slip away.
Patient Education Adjustments that need to be made after having a stroke will greatly depend on the amount of damage or “deficit” a patient is left with, which is dependent on whether or not they got treatment in time. Deficits will range from minor things such as a number or tingling in a hand or weakness in an extremity when tired, to major deficits such as paralysis of one side of the body and the inability to speak or understand language.
Tests & Treatments There are no blood tests currently that can tell us if a person is having a stroke. We must rely on images taken of the brain, using either MRI or CT technology.
