DEFINITION
It is a sudden loss of function resulting from disruption of
the blood supply to the part of the brain. The C.V.A is also
termed as “Brain attack”. This event is usually result of
long standing cerebro vascular disease.

(B) Lab & radiological investigation
1. Blood test
2. Brain imaging test
3. Heart & Blood vessel
test5. Electrocardiogram
4. Leg ultrasound

![Page 15: Stroke](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110310/55a785dd1a28ab8d188b45b9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• High cholesterol, sugar level, blood clotting time
1.Blood test
• CT Scan - detect bleeding in brain (hemorrhagic stroke)
• MRI – detect damaged brain tissue
• MRA (Magnetic Resonance Angiography) –visualize narrowing blood vessel
2. Brain Imaging Test
• Carotid ultrasonography- clotting in arteries leading to brain
• Catheter angiography (arteriography)
3. Heart & Blood Vessel Test

• Identify problem with electrical conduction of heart
• Regular heart beat rhythmic pattern smooth blood flow
• Defect arrhythmia form blood clot stroke
5. Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Detect blood clot in deep vein in legs
• Clot movement to brain leads to stroke
4. Leg Ultrasound
• Sound waves – measure blood flow blood vessel of hemorrhagic area
6. Transcranial Doppler (TCD)

TREATMENT
Pharmacological Therapy
Stroke with Cardiogenic cause should treat promptly with
warfarin sodium, Platelet inhibiting drugs (aspirin, clopidogrel,
ticlopidine) can decrease the incidence of cerebral infarction.
![Page 22: Stroke](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110310/55a785dd1a28ab8d188b45b9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
(A) MEDICATION
1. Alteplase (tissue plasminogen
activator- TPA)
Injected to vein in arm
Given 4½ hour after onset of symptoms
Dissolve blood clot –restore blood flow
2. Anticoagulant
Drugs to thin blood
Ex: Aspirin, Heparin, Warfarin
3. Statin
Block enzyme in liver
Reduce cholesterol in
blood
TREATMENT

(B) SURGERY
1. Carotid endarterectomy
Incision in neck
open carotid artery
remove fatty acids
2. Craniotomy
Small section of skull cut away
Remove blood clot / repair burst in blood vessel

NURSING DIAGNOSIS
• Ineffective cerebral tissue perfusion related to decreased
cerebral blood flow.
• Impaired physical mobility related to hemiparesis
• Self care deficit related to loss of ability to use extrimities
• Disturbed sensory perception related to changes in visual
field
• Impaired verbal communication related to cerebral injury
• Impaired swallowing related to weakness or loss of
coordination of the tongue
• Impaired urinary elimination related to neurological
deficits
