    Study Notes

    Stroke (CVA) (Brain Attack) NUR 211: Health Care Concepts Unit Four - Module 4C Part 1

    Learning Outcomes: ● Collaborate with the interprofessional team to coordinate high-quality care for patients experiencing a stroke (brain attack). ● Implement nursing interventions to help the patient and family cope with the psychosocial impact caused by a stroke (brain attack). ● Apply knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology to assess patients experiencing a stroke (brain attack). ● Use clinical judgment to plan care for patients experiencing a stroke. ● Teach the patient and caregiver(s) about common drugs for a patient experiencing a stroke (brain attack).

    Stroke “Disruption of cerebral blood flow”

    Incidence & Prevalence ● Fifth leading cause of death in the US ● Women have a higher incidence than men ● “Stroke Belt” ● Many survivors

    Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) ● “Warning Sign” ● Brief interruption of cerebral blood flow ● Symptoms resolve quickly

    Types of Strokes ● Ischemic ○ Thrombotic ○ Embolic ● Hemorrhagic ○ Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) ○ Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) ○ Aneurysm ○ Arteriovenous malformation (AVM)

    Thrombotic Stroke ● Blood clot due to plaque ● Shuts off the artery ● Ischemia distal to occlusion ● Symptoms progress ● Usually, no LOC changes

    Embolic Stroke ● Embolus travels ● Blood flow shut off ● Sudden severe symptoms ** ● Few warning signs ● Remains conscious ● Atrial fibrillation is a major risk factor

    Hemorrhagic Stroke ● “Bleeding” ● Sudden ● Altered LOC ● Headache ● Poor prognosis

    Risk Factors ● TIA ● Hypertension ● Cocaine Usage ● Diabetes ● Smoking ● Atrial fibrillation ● Cerebral aneurysm ● Obesity ● Atherosclerosis ● Hyperlipidemia ● Hypercoagulability ● Use of oral contraceptives

    Health Promotion and Maintenance ● ABCs: ○ Aspirin use when appropriate ○ Blood pressure control ○ Cholesterol management ○ Smoking cessation

    Stroke Prevention ● Medications ○ Anticoagulants ■ Warfarin ■ Apixaban ■ Rivaroxaban ○ Antiplatelets ■ Aspirin ■ Platelet Inhibitors ● Dipyridamole ● Clopidogrel ● Procedures ○ Carotid endarterectomy ○ Extracranial-intracranial bypass
