Stroke and its types
Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, and there are two main types: ischemic (caused by blockage) and hemorrhagic (caused by bleeding). Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability and death in the United States. Risk factors include high blood pressure, heart disease, smoking, and diabetes. Treatment depends on the type of stroke, but may involve clot-busting drugs or surgery to repair damaged blood vessels. Rehabilitation is important for recovery and aims to restore functions like movement, speech, and daily living skills through therapies.

Cerebro vascular accident
Cerebrovascular accident (CVA), also known as stroke, occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, depriving brain cells of oxygen and nutrients. There are two main types of strokes: ischemic, caused by a blood clot blocking an artery, and hemorrhagic, caused by a ruptured blood vessel. Strokes can cause symptoms such as paralysis, speech problems, and vision issues depending on the affected brain region. Risk factors include hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and smoking. Diagnosis involves imaging tests and physical exams, while treatment differs based on stroke type but may include clot-dissolving drugs or surgery.

Causes of Brain Stroke.
There are two main types of stroke: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery in the brain, and is often caused by atherosclerosis. Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, which can be due to high blood pressure, aneurysms, or arteriovenous malformations. Managing risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol is important for preventing both types of stroke.

Stroke is the 5th leading cause of death in the US. There are three main types of stroke: ischemic, hemorrhagic, and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). Ischemic strokes, which account for 85% of cases, occur when a blood clot blocks an artery supplying blood to the brain. Hemorrhagic strokes occur when a brain artery ruptures due to conditions like hypertension. TIAs are temporary and cause no permanent damage but indicate risk for future strokes. Symptoms of stroke appear suddenly and include face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulties, and severe headache. Diagnostic tests help determine the type and location of stroke. Lifestyle changes and medical treatment can help prevent strokes.
Preventing stroke by MArilynCatunao
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, depriving brain cells of oxygen. There are two main types of stroke - one caused by a blockage cutting off blood flow, and one caused by bleeding within the brain. Symptoms depend on the affected brain region and may include loss of movement, speech, or vision. Risk factors include age, sex, race, diabetes, high blood pressure, prior strokes or mini-strokes, heart conditions, and lifestyle factors like smoking, diet, weight, and alcohol use. Making healthy choices can help reduce risks within one's control.

Cerebellar degeneration
Cerebellar degeneration is the degeneration of nerves in the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls balance and muscle coordination. Symptoms include impaired balance, unsteady walking, tremors, and slurred speech. It can be caused by head trauma, stroke, tumors, infections like chickenpox, or autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis. The diagnosis involves testing balance, reflexes, coordination and other functions controlled by the cerebellum. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include surgery, antibiotics, medications to reduce inflammation, or blood thinners.
Brain strokes
A brain stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is reduced or interrupted, depriving brain cells of oxygen and nutrients and potentially causing cell death. Strokes are medical emergencies that require immediate treatment to minimize brain damage and maximize chances of survival. The two main types of strokes are ischemic, caused by a blocked artery, and hemorrhagic, caused by a burst blood vessel. Risk factors include conditions like obesity, hypertension, smoking, and atrial fibrillation. Diagnosis involves tests like CT/MRI scans and treatment depends on the stroke type but generally focuses on restoring blood flow and preventing further damage. Ongoing rehabilitation is also important for recovery.
Stroke study
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, depriving brain cells of oxygen. This can cause loss of abilities controlled by the damaged area, such as memory or muscle control. The effects depend on the location and size of the stroke in the brain. While some people recover fully, over 2/3 of survivors are left with disabilities. There are two main types of strokes - ischemic and hemorrhagic. Hemorrhagic strokes involve bleeding in or around the brain from a burst aneurysm or weakened blood vessel. Ischemic strokes are more common and occur when a blood clot blocks an artery in the brain.

2. It provides details on warning signs of stroke and emphasizes the importance of calling 911 immediately if any signs appear in order to receive rapid treatment.
3. Prevention of both heart attacks and strokes is more effective than procedures, and controlling risk factors is key to reducing one's risk.
testai2008.pdf
This document discusses the pathophysiology and medical management of acute hemorrhagic stroke. It notes that spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage accounts for 10-20% of strokes and has a high mortality rate. Chronic hypertension is the leading cause, responsible for about 60% of cases. Other common causes include cerebral amyloid angiopathy and anticoagulant use. The location and expansion of the hematoma, development of hydrocephalus and cerebral edema are consequences that impact outcomes. Early management focuses on blood pressure control and reversal of anticoagulation to prevent hematoma expansion.
wang2007.pdf
This document summarizes a study examining the role of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in protecting against brain injury caused by intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in mice. The study found that Nrf2 knockout mice exhibited larger brain injury volumes and greater neurological deficits 24 hours after ICH induction compared to wild-type mice. Additionally, Nrf2 knockout mice showed increased leukocyte infiltration, reactive oxygen species production, DNA damage, and cytochrome c release during the early post-ICH period. These results suggest that Nrf2 provides protection against ICH-induced early brain injury, likely by reducing leukocyte-mediated free radical oxidative damage.

The main types are negative pressure ventilators like iron lungs and positive pressure ventilators. Common modes include assist-control, SIMV, PSV and APRV. Key settings include tidal volume, rate, sensitivity and PEEP. Weaning involves gradually reducing support in stages. Nursing care focuses on airway management, ventilation, safety, communication and weaning progress.
polysythemia.ppt
This document discusses polycythemia, which refers to an increased volume of red blood cells. There are two types: primary polycythemia vera, which is a stem cell disorder causing elevated red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet counts; and secondary polycythemia caused by excessive erythropoietin production in response to factors like smoking or lung disease. Symptoms include headaches and fatigue from increased blood volume and risks of clotting or bleeding. Medical management focuses on phlebotomy to reduce blood thickness while nursing management educates on risk reduction and symptom management.
Respiratory Rehabilitation.ppt
This document describes respiratory care modalities including chest physiotherapy techniques like postural drainage, percussion, and breathing exercises. Postural drainage uses specific positions and gravity to drain secretions from the lungs into the trachea where they can be coughed or suctioned out. Percussion helps loosen thick secretions for removal. Breathing retraining teaches pursed-lip breathing and diaphragmatic breathing to make breathing more efficient. The nurse's role is to instruct patients and families on these techniques and ensure they are performed correctly and safely to clear the lungs and improve ventilation.

The document discusses nursing theory, including its definition, purpose, and construction. It begins by asking what nursing theories are and why they are important. Nursing theories are then defined as conceptual frameworks that describe, explain, or predict phenomena in nursing. Theories are made up of concepts linked by propositions. Several influential nursing theorists such as Florence Nightingale and Hildegard Peplau developed theories by directly observing phenomena in clinical practice. The construction of theory involves identifying concepts and linking them with propositions to form a framework for understanding nursing phenomena.
Lecture 02 - Nursing Research (1).ppt
This document discusses nursing research and its importance. Nursing research is a scientific process that generates new knowledge to directly influence nursing practice. It aims to develop an evidence-based practice that improves outcomes for patients, nurses, and the healthcare system. The document defines different types of nursing research, including quantitative, qualitative, descriptive, correlational, experimental, and historical research. It also outlines the steps of the nursing research process and discusses the importance of ethics and avoiding scientific misconduct in nursing research.
2_5201981186808742788.pptx
This document outlines the steps in quantitative and qualitative research. It begins by differentiating between the two methods, noting that quantitative research uses numeric and measurable data while qualitative focuses on personal perceptions.
For quantitative research, the steps include identifying a problem, developing a hypothesis, collecting numeric data, analyzing results, and interpreting findings. For qualitative research, the process involves identifying a problem, selecting a design, collecting subjective data through interviews or observations, analyzing themes in the data, and interpreting results.
Finally, the document discusses using both methods together in a single study to gain a more comprehensive understanding of a problem. It provides examples of nursing issues that could be addressed through these research approaches.
lecture_4_3.ppt
The document outlines the key steps in the scientific research process, including identifying a research question, forming a hypothesis, conducting research, analyzing results, and drawing conclusions. It discusses 12 specific steps that guide research, including identifying the research question, reviewing literature, formulating a hypothesis, collecting and analyzing data. The research question is the foundation, and can be descriptive, examine relationships, or test for differences. Variables, including independent, dependent, and extraneous variables, are also defined.

This document discusses hypotheses in research studies. It defines a hypothesis and explains their purposes, including guiding research design and statistical analysis. Hypotheses can be classified in various ways, such as simple vs complex, directional vs nondirectional, and causal vs associative. The null hypothesis predicts no relationship while the research hypothesis states an expected relationship. Guidelines are provided for developing testable hypotheses and critiquing them in research reports.
coma-160807185638.pdf
This document discusses the evaluation and management of comatose patients. It emphasizes performing ABCs (airway, breathing, circulation) initially and evaluating for life-threatening issues. It describes assessing pupils, blood pressure, glucose, and using the Glasgow Coma Scale to evaluate level of consciousness. Causes of coma like head injuries, liver failure, diabetes, and renal failure are reviewed. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and supporting vital functions.
coma-160120004419.pdf
This document discusses the neural basis of consciousness and provides definitions for different levels of altered mental status including coma. It describes the anatomy related to mental status including the ascending reticular activating system, cerebral hemispheres, and their interaction. Coma is defined as a state of unconsciousness with absent sleep-wake cycles. The Glasgow Coma Scale is used to assess the severity of impaired consciousness. Various approaches for differential diagnosis of an unresponsive patient are outlined. Causes of coma including cerebrovascular disease, subarachnoid hemorrhage, brain tumors, hypotension, and raised intracranial pressure are described. A detailed neurological examination of a comatose patient is also discussed.
coma-141120124411-conversion-gate02.pdf
This document discusses the approach to patients presenting in a coma. It defines coma as a state of unresponsiveness where patients cannot be aroused even with vigorous stimulation. It describes various stages between alertness and coma. Coma is caused by dysfunction of the brainstem or both hemispheres of the brain. A thorough assessment is needed to determine the cause and guide management, including a neurological exam to identify any focal signs. Key aspects of the exam include vital signs, pupil response, eye movements, motor response and reflexes. Different patterns on exam can localize the lesion causing the coma. Immediate life-saving interventions are also often needed.

Editor's Notes
- These are the factors that we have no control over but may increase the risk of stroke Age – Over 65 stroke increases Gender – Men have increased risk, but women have an increased mortality rate Race – African Americans have increased risk Family History – Prior history of TIA’s or past strokes increases the risk for having another attack
- These factors are controllable and prevent the risk of stroke High Blood Pressure – alone is the highest risk for stroke and is the least recognized (50% increase in risk) Heart Disease – Atrial Fibrillation the most common arrhythmia and most treatable (20% increase in risk) Diabetes - Increases the risk by 5 times the normal population for uncontrolled blood glucose Smoking – Doubles the risk of having a stroke Cholesterol – High fat diets increase narrowing of the arteries Obesity – Increases blood pressure, fat molecules in the arteries, and high blood glucose Sedentary Lifestyle – Lack of exercise
