Lesson details
When you think of a stroke, you might picture an older person, or assume it's not serious if the symptoms fade quickly. Maybe you think it's okay to wait and see. These are common assumptions - and they're all dangerous myths. A stroke is a medical emergency that can happen at any age, and every second counts.
In this online lesson about strokes, you'll learn how to quickly spot signs of a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) and exactly what steps you need to take to potentially save a life.
What you'll learn in this lesson, First aid for stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)
