During a stroke, immediate treatment entails ______. Select one: a. decreasing saturated fat intake b. bypass surgery c. tricuspid value replacement d. restoring normal blood flow as quickly as possible
Ans:-
D,
Restoring normal blood flow qs quickly as possible.
During a stroke immediate treatment entails restoring normal blood flow as quickly as possible because stroke is caused due to ischemia ( loss of blood supply) that is occur due to blocked artery or hemorrhage in the brain so in this case normal blood supply as quickly as possible is necessary to prevent further damage of the brain and we give anti thrombotic or thrombolytics agents to ensure blood flow .
And after that we do bypass surgery and other surgical intervention if needed.
Rest of the given options are wrong because they are the treatment of the stroke but they are not considered in immediate treatment .
- As cholesterol is the risk factor of stroke so we need to decrease saturated fat intake but its not immediate treatment.
- Bypass surgery is also not immediate treatment.
- Tricuspid valve replacement is not the treatment of stroke but if anyone have a valve replacement then he/she needs to take lifelong thrombolytics to prevent stroke.
