Study Notes

Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA)

tPA is the only drug that breaks up blood clots.
tPA is a common emergency treatment for stroke.
tPA is injected into a vein for quicker access to the blood clot.
tPA is not given if there's a high risk of brain bleeding.

Seizure Types

There are two main types of seizures: generalized and focal.
Generalized seizures involve the whole brain.
Focal seizures affect only one part of the brain.

Focal Seizures

Focal aware seizures involve symptoms like changes in taste, smell, sight, hearing, or touch.
Other symptoms of focal aware seizures include dizziness, tingling, and twitching limbs.
Focal aware seizures do not involve loss of consciousness.

Focal Unaware Seizures

Focal unaware seizures involve loss of awareness or consciousness.
Focal unaware seizures may cause staring blankly, unresponsiveness, or repetitive movements.
