1. Have a working knowledge of these terms: a. Cerebral edema b. Hydrocephalus c. Communicating (non-obstructive) hydrocephalus d. Non-communicating (obstructive) hydrocephalus e. Intracranial pressure f. Cerebral perfusion pressure g. Brain herniation h. Concussion i. Simple partial seizure j. Complex partial k. Generalized seizures l. Absence m. Atonic n. Myoclonic o. Tonic-clonic 2. Discuss the anatomical and physiological features that protect the brain. 3. Recall general ways the brain may become damaged or injured. 4. Differentiate between hypoxia and ischemia in terms of patho, causes, common manifestations, and potential compensatory mechanisms. 5. Compare/contrast vasogenic and cytotoxic causes of cerebral edema p. Pathophysiology q. Causes r. Serious outcomes 6. Compare Primary and Secondary traumatic brain injury (TBI). 7. Compare Mild, Moderate, Severe TBI. 8. Describe each type of hematoma s. Epidural t. Subdural u. Intracerebral 9. Recognize symptoms associated with concussion. 10. Differentiate Ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke 11. Differentiate Stroke and Transient ischemic attach (TIA) 12. List several causes of provoked seizures
