Experts remind that the temperature has plummeted recently, and there is a high incidence of cerebrovascular diseases. Cerebral infarction is one of the diseases with a high rate of disability and mortality, and it is very likely to cause paralysis or even death of patients after the onset of the disease. 45 hours is the "best time" for treatment, if the blood flow is not restored in time, the brain tissue will be irreversibly damaged, resulting in paralysis, which can be seriously life-threatening.
