About this campaign
B.E.F.A.S.T. to recognize the signs of pediatric stroke
People rarely think of children as being at risk for stroke. But the truth is, strokes can happen to people of all ages, even to babies in the womb. For children especially, strokes can be related to bleeding and clotting disorders. Approximately six to 10 in 100,000 children are affected by stroke. Because the causes and symptoms are so different from adult stroke, treating stroke in children requires specialized training. At Cook Children's, we have developed the Stroke and Thrombosis Program, comprised of a team of specialists whose primary goal is to help children recover from a stroke and/or thrombotic disease, as well as prevent future strokes. Our program offers specialized treatment starting in the emergency room and ongoing care throughout the child's recovery.
Time is crucial, recognize a stroke with this simple acronym
B.E.F.A.S.T.
B – balance loss
E – eyesight changes
F – facial drooping
A – arm weakness
S – speech difficulty
T – time to call 911
