First aid for stroke: current recommendations and prospects for improvement
https://doi.org/10.30629/2658-7947-2026-31-1-12-23
Abstract
In a stroke, the actions of bystanders are crucial for promptly initiating medical care, preventing complications, and maintaining the victim’s life until emergency medical services arrive. However, the public lacks sufficient knowledge regarding first aid for stroke, possibly due to the lack of a unified and effective organizational framework that incorporates modern, scientifically proven principles and methods for providing first aid in this emergency. This study was conducted to review scientific research and international practical guidelines on first aid for stroke and to identify priority measures aimed at establishing effective first aid practices, taking into account the specific legal framework for first aid in the Russian Federation. The study’s materials included international and national first aid guidelines and consensus documents, clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of stroke, as well as related scientific articles and regulations.
