INTRODUCTION
• Cerebrovascular accident is also called as stroke or
brain attack
• Cerebro means related to brain or cerebrum,
vascular means blood vessels, and accident means
unexpected event.
DEFINITION :
The sudden death of some brain cells due to lack of oxygen
when the blood flow to the brain is impaired by blockage or
rupture of an artery to the brain
CAUSES :
• Transient ischemic attack,
• Cerebral thrombus,
• Cerebral embolism,
• Cerebral hemorrhage.
RISK FACTORS:
MODIFIBALE RISK FACTORS
• Hypertension
• Smoking
• Diabetes
• High cholesterol
• Obesity
• Physical inactivity
• Unhealthy diet
• Previous TIA
• Heart disease
NON-MODIFIBALE RISK FACTORS
• Age
• Gender[men have higher
risk]
• Family history
• Race
TYPES:
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
FRONTAL LOBE
• Weakness or paralysis on
the opposite side of the
body
• Difficulty with speech
• Problem with decision
making & planning
TEMPORAL LOBE
• Difficulty understanding
spoken/written words
• Loss of memory
• Hearing changes
• Trouble recognizing objects /
faces
PARIETAL LOBE
• Loss of sensation
• Loss of co- ordination
• Balance problems
OCCIPETAL LOBE
• Loss of vision
• Blurred vision
• Diplopia
• Problem with visual
perception
BRAIN STEM
• Problem with vital
functions [HR, breathing,
BP]
• Dysphagia
• Dysarthria
CEREBELLUM
• Poor co-ordination
• Unsteady gait
• Tremors
• Fine motor issues
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION
• History collection
• Physical examination
• CT scan
• CT with Angiography
• Conventional
angiograph
• Carotid doppler ultra
sound
• ECG
LABORATORY TESTS
• CBC
• Electrolyte levels
• Lipid levels
• Blood glucose level
• Coagulation studies
MANAGEMENT
GOAL – restore the blood flow to the brain
MEDICAL MANAGEMENT
• THROMBOLYTICS - Recombinant Tissue plasminogen activator
ANTICOAGULANT- Heparin
warfarin
• ANTIPLATELETS - Aspirin
Clopidogrel
SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
• Carotid endarterectomy : it involves making an incision
in the neck to remove plaque from the carotid artery.
• Carotid artery stenting: procedure that open clogged
artery to restore blood flow to the brain.
• Craniotomy: Removing part of the skull to relieve
pressure or remove blood clots.
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
 Ineffective tissue perfusion related to Hemorrhage as evidenced by
changes in vital signs
 Impaired physical mobility related neuromuscular involvement as
evidenced by limited range of motion
 Impaired verbal communication related impaired cerebral
circulation as evidenced by dysartia.
