要理解復康黃金期,首先需要了解中風的兩大類型,因為不同類型的中風在治療時間窗口和康復策略上有顯著差異。第一類是缺血性中風,俗稱「塞血管」,佔所有中風病例約七至八成。當腦血管被血塊堵塞,該區域的腦細胞便會因缺氧而受損或死亡。缺血性中風的黃金治療期通常以發病後的數小時計算,若患者能在病發後的四至五小時內送院,醫生可以使用血栓溶解藥物或進行機械取栓手術,盡量搶救受影響的腦組織。
第二類是出血性中風,俗稱「爆血管」,由腦血管破裂引致。雖然出血性中風的發病率較低,但因其病情緊急、死亡率較高,在治療上更需要迅速應對。出血性中風的康復進程往往比缺血性中風更為漫長,因為除了神經功能受損外,腦內的血塊也會對周圍組織造成壓力和炎症反應。
Healthy D 的報道曾指出,把握中風後治療黃金期有助於修復腦神經。現時醫學界已研發出一些「補腦」新藥,配合黃金期的密集治療,能在一定程度上促進受損腦神經的修復與重塑。不論是哪一類型的中風,搶救時間都是康復成敗的關鍵因素。香港市民應對中風的徵兆保持警覺,常見的「FAST」口號包括面部下垂(Face)、手臂無力(Arm)、說話含糊(Speech),以及發現問題要立刻致電999求助(Time)。及早識別中風徵兆、及早送院治療,是把握黃金治療期的第一步。
