Cerebrovascular Accident (Stroke): Risk Factors, Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Classification, Management and Nursing Care
A nursing course lecture on stroke that opens with the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors and the anatomy of the cerebral circulation, then separates the thrombotic and embolic ischemic attacks from the intracerebral and subarachnoid haemorrhages, with the cerebral aneurysm, its warning symptoms and clipping. Clinical manifestations are worked through by the side of the brain damaged - motor and sensory function, communication, elimination, emotion and intellect - alongside the transient ischaemic attack. The last sections give the diagnostic studies, carotid endarterectomy and drug therapy, the nursing diagnoses and goals, the acute-phase assessment and supportive care, and rehabilitation with its swallowing and communication work.
