Brain – I too have golden hour!

A brain stroke, also known as a brain attack, occurs when the supply of blood to the brain is reduced or stopped. This condition is similar to a heart attack. What happens here? Due to blockage inside vessel   there will be stoppage of blood and oxygen  reaching the brain.

The most common symptoms of brain stroke are facial weakness, arm and leg weakness, speech dysfunction, blurring of vision, and imbalance while walking. What risk factors are make brain  predisposes to stroke? hypertension, diabetes, smoking, high cholesterol, obesity, ischemic heart disease, and a sedentary lifestyle.

Brain too has GOLDEN HOUR like  heart!?

Brain stroke is like a heart attack. What one will do if suddenly develops chest pain ? People will reach the hospital as early as possible , get ECG and ECHO and will take opinion of cardiologist. Am I saying correct?  Dear people – Brain attack is similar to heart attack. If warning signs are recognised soon and  person reach the hospital in GOLDEN HOUR   complications that arise from brain stroke can be prevented or minimise the disability that can arise from stroke.

Dear all Let us know -How brain stroke happens?

Let us imagine heart -The heart pumps blood into the brain through blood vessels or channels called carotid arteries, which include right and left carotids. If there is a lack of supply or blockage to one side of the brain, it causes brain stroke. During a brain stroke, 1.9 million neurons die every minute due to lack of blood supply and if not treated immediately. What that means – that means the important centres of brain can get damaged parmanently.

Based on damage happens to brain -What all of us should know is Brain stroke is classified into mini-stroke and major stroke. This  Mini stroke is also known as TIA-Transient ischemic attack- we will see usually improve within 24 hours.  On contrast what happens in major stroke is – A person affected with a major stroke will take time to get better and the weakness or neurological deficits persists for a longer duration. Which results what happens? person may  become permanently disabled.

What is this  golden hour?

When brain stroke happens – we should take the patient to the stroke care hospital or seek immediate medication, within the golden period.  3.5 hours to 7.2 hours after the person has suffered a brain stroke is golden hour. The clot-bursting medication and mechanical thrombectomy if happens within this period blood circulation re-establishes. Why is is called golden hour?

After blood circulation re establishes – brain previously affected get blood circulation and nutrition and no of  neuronal death will reduce. This is possible by stent retrievers, it is a basket like device. Procedure is called Mechnical Thrombectomy.

Mechanical thrombectomy is a new modality of interventional stroke treatment, where mechanical force is applied to remove the clot by aspiration or by approaching through a basket-like device (stent retriever).

Treatment

In recent years, comprehensive stroke treatment units are helping people who are affected by stroke and maximum recovery is recorded. A comprehensive stroke unit or team consists of an emergency physician, a neurosurgeon, a neurologist, a neuroendovascular surgeon / interventional neuroradiologist, a neuro intensivist, a neuroradiologist, a neuro anesthetist and a physiotherapist.

Before Advanced Stroke treatment in Bangalore or endovascular stroke treatment came into the picture, what we were doing ?  the conservative treatment was only the option. It used showed many cases where the patients were suffered or lost their lives. The tendency to develop permanent weakness in the hands and legs, speech dysfunction, persistent vegetative state, high morbidities like the high probability of self-dependency on wheelchair or stretcher, dependence on family for a prolonged time, development of bedsore and sepsis, and death were more common in the conservative brain stroke treatment methods. If any patient comes after the golden hour period, the right treatment cannot be started.

On seeing symptoms like facial weakness, arm or leg weakness, speech dysfunction to name a few, the patient should be rushed to the hospital immediately without any delay, since every second count.

Hence remember and create the stroke awareness

Tips to prevent back pain at work

If you work in an office and sit for the majority of the day, you’re probably familiar with back pain. Sitting at a desk for eight hours a day can cause stiffness and tension, which can make working difficult. You may be at an even higher risk of developing back pain if your job requires you to twist or bend frequently. Between 50 and 80 percent of people will experience back pain at some point in their lives, and about 20 percent of adults will experience back pain in a single year.

Back pain can range from a sharp, sudden pain caused by twisting or moving suddenly to a constant, dull ache that develops over time. Back pain can be acute, lasting a few days to weeks or chronic lasting a months to year or more. Lower back pain is usually only temporary and will go away on its own with or without proper self-care. However, approximately few people who suffer from acute back pain can develop chronic back pain.

Back pain, whether dull and achy or sharp and stabbing, can make it difficult to focus on your work. Unfortunately, many jobs, such as nursing, construction, and factory work, put a lot of strain on your back. Back pain can be caused or exacerbated by even routine office work. Learn about the causes of back pain at work and how to avoid it.

Common office related problems are –

  1. Back pain
  2. Neck pain
  3. Leg pain
  4. Numbness in the hands
  5. Headache
  6. Blurring of vision
  7. Dryness in the eyes
  8. Muscle soreness and pain due to pressure  after pronged sitting in one position

Protect your Staff:

The employer must:

  • Wherever possible, avoid work activities that can cause back pain.
  • If you can’t avoid the activity, evaluate it to see what you can do to reduce the risk of back pain.
  • Implement the control measures you’ve identified, and make sure they’re working by monitoring and reviewing them.
  • Consult your employees and, if they have any health and safety concerns, address them.

Common causes of back pain:

Back pain at work can be caused by a variety of factors. Consider the following scenario:

  • Force – Lifting or moving heavy objects with too much force on your back can result in injury.
  • Repetition – Certain movements, particularly those that involve twisting or rotating your spine, can injure your back if you do them repeatedly.
  • Inactivity – Back pain can be caused by an inactive job or a desk job, especially if you have poor posture or sit all day in a chair with insufficient back support.
  • A person’s bad lifestyle also affects back pain; poor diet, unhealthy habits (smoking, drinking) and so on.

Tips to prevent back pain at work:

Tips to prevent back pain at work:

1. Create an ergonomic workspace

Tips to prevent back pain at work

Employees can reach everything they need in an ergonomic workspace without straining. By adjusting the height of desks, chairs, and monitors, proper office ergonomics promote good posture. Here are a few pointers on how to set up an ergonomic workspace:

  • Place the computer monitor at eye level in order to avoid tilting your head or leaning forward.
  • Position frequently used items within your arm’s reach to avoid moving or stretching your hand.
  • Adjust the brightness of the monitor in which your eyes feel comfortable and non-straining.
  • Adjust the height of your chair and desk

2. Choose the right office chair

  • Adjustable height: Choose a desk chair with a height adjustment so that your elbows are at a comfortable angle with your desk.
  • Adjustable backrest: When sitting with your back against the backrest and your calves against the front of the chair, there should be 2 to 4 inches between your calves and the front of the chair if your desk chair has an appropriate seat depth. Choose an office chair with the appropriate seat depth or a backrest that can be adjusted.
  • Adjustable armrests
  • Comfortable material

3. Practise good posture

  • Maintain a straight line between your shoulders and your head.
  • Keep your back against the chair’s backrest.
  • Maintain a square relationship with your computer screen by keeping your shoulders back.
  • By bringing your chair closer to your desk, you can keep your upper arms parallel to your spine.
  • Do not cross your legs and keep your feet flat on the ground.
  • Maintain a 90-degree angle with your knees and, if necessary, a footrest.

4. Take frequent short breaks

Take breaks between work to stretch your body and relax, continuous work makes the body stiff and result in back pain. So this point is very essential.

5. Choose comfortable shoes

 For work, always choose flat and comfortable footwears. High-heeled footwears negatively affect the spine and the body, also back pain arises by wearing these for a long time. Flats help in back comfort.

Summary –

Tips to prevent these office related problems

Tips to prevent these office related problems:

  1. Eye posItion-during working in front of monitor or laptop our eye level should be at the level of the monitor or slightly above the monitor.
  2. neck and shoulder should be relaxed.
  3. Elbow and shoulder should be  flexed at 70 -90 degrees at least
  4. wrist should be pronated and not flexed
  5. Our back should be supported by small pad or pillow
  6. thigh should be parallel to the ground
  7. foot should be resting flat and supported by small stool
  8. long static posture is not advisable- if you are  sitting or standing— you have to change the position-you have to get up and walk around and take micro breaks for a minute or two. At the same time you can focus your eye on distant object ,which will reduce your eye strain and prevent dryness in eyes.
  9. using adjustable rotating  chair is helpful instead of static chair.
  10. other small things like reduce the brightness /contrast  of the screen, increase in the font size and avoiding direct light source in from the the working area is avoided.
