What is a Stroke?
“Stroke” is a term used to describe neurological changes lasting more than 24 hours caused by an interruption in the blood supply to a part of the brain. If the blood flow ceases for an extended period of time, the cerebral tissues involved die causing permanent neurological deficits.

COMMON EFFECTS OF A RIGHT HEMISPERIC STROKE
Left visual field loss (homonymous hemianopsia)
Dysphagia
Usually retain language ability but may have difficulty producing speech(dysarthria)
Left-sided weakness (hemi paresis) or paralysis (hemiplegia)
Sensory impairment
Denial of paralysis, “forget” or “ignore” objects or people on their left side(neglect)
Impaired ability to judge spatial relationships (misjudge distances and depth leading to falls, unable to guide hands to button a shirt, problems with directions such as up / down, no concept of time)
Impaired ability to locate and identify body parts
Short-term memory impairments (difficulty remembering new information) and apraxia (inability to carry out learned movement in the absence of weakness or paralysis)
Behavioral changes such as impaired judgement or insight into limitations, overestimate physical ability, impulsivity, inappropriateness and difficulty comprehending and expressing emotions

COMMON EFFECTS OF A LEFT HEMISPERIC STROKE
Right visual field loss (homonymous hemianopsia) Dysphagia May develop aphasia (loss of language including spoken, written,
reading and comprehension) but may also have dysarthria Right-sided weakness (hemiparesis) or paralysis
(hemiplegia)
Sensory impairment Usually have normal perception Usually judgement is intact with good insight into
limitations Short-term memory impairments (difficulty remembering
new information) and apraxia (inability to carry out learned movement in the absence of weakness or paralysis)
Often develop a slow and cautious behavioral style. They need frequent instructions and feedback to complete tasks
Better able to comprehend and express emotions9/15/2014 20www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com

TYPES OF STROKE
Ischemic 80 - 84%
Caused by blockage of the artery resulting in reduction of blood flow and cell death
Include thrombotic, lacunar, embolic cryptogenic
CT scan negative until a few days post stroke then hypodense area - indicates infarction

THROMBOTIC STROKE
Atherosclerosis in cerebral arteries
Similar to CAD – leading to MI
Atherogenesis – decades long process
In thrombotic stroke lumen of artery narrows to point of obstruction

LACUNAR STROKE
Atherosclerosis in cerebral arteries
Similar to CAD –leading to MI
Atherogenesis –decades long process
In thrombotic stroke lumen of artery narrows to point of obstruction

EMBOLIC STROKE
A clot travels from source outside of brain
Encounters vessel with lumen narrow enough to block its passage
Clot lodges there, blocking blood flow
Most common source - heart
Common conditions - atrial fibrillation, valvular disease, ventricular thrombi, atherosclerosis of the proximal aorta

HEMORRHAGIC STROKE
A clot travels from source outside of brain
Encounters vessel with lumen narrow enough to block its passage
Clot lodges there, blocking blood flow
Most common source - heart Common conditions - atrial
fibrillation, valvular disease, ventricular thrombi, atherosclerosis of the proximal aorta

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
Neurological vital signs
Blood pressure
Glycemic control
Control of body temperature
Oxygenation
Hydration

HEMORRHAGIC STROKE
Treatment based on the underlying cause of the bleed and the extent of brain damage
Treatment includes medication and surgical intervention
Management of ICP with antihypertensives or surgical evacuation of hematoma
In patients with ruptured aneurysm - clip or embolization

Strategies to prevent a stroke
-Maintain a healthy weight - eat a reduced-fat diet
– Reduce alcohol intake to 1-2 drinks / day
– Exercise - 30 minutes 3-4 times / week
– Become smoke free and drug free
– Management of hypertension (ACE inhibitors)
– Management of heart disease (anticoagulants), diabetes and hyperlipidemia (statins)
– Carotid endarterectomy may be indicated with stenosis
– Antiplatelets for plaque / clot formation
