# Chart for Stroke Assessment

[Resources](https://www.australiawidefirstaid.com/resources) › [Charts](https://www.australiawidefirstaid.com/resources?genre=charts)

Charts

A stroke is a medical emergency in which the blood flow to a part of the brain is suddenly disrupted.

This can cause brain cells to die, as they rely on blood to receive life-sustaining oxygen and nutrients.

If a stroke victim does not receive prompt medical treatment, whole swathes of their brain can die, and they can sustain permanent brain damage and requisite physical, emotional, and intellectual complications.

The [Stroke Foundation](https://strokefoundation.org.au/) recommends using the F.A.S.T test (see below) to identify the main symptoms of stroke, and to assess whether a person is experiencing a stroke.

As such, if a person fails even one step of the F.A.S.T test call Triple Zero (000) for an ambulance.

Please note, our charts can be downloaded and printed in A2 size or smaller.
