Q

Hemorrhagic- Common types

A

~berry aneurism
~AVM (arteriosus venous malformation)

MB: I also have intracerebral hemorrhage and cerebral hemorrhage in my notes. I also have subarachnoid hemorrhage as being paired with the berry aneurysm. Don’t have that lecture recorded so unable to verify.

Q

Occlusive- Embolytic- blood

4

A

~We can do a good a good job getting rid of blood clots with TPA tissue plasminogen activators- thins blood and gets rid of blood clots
~need to give these to someone within 3 hours
~More than 3 hours, the structures distally already starting to die
~Its not worth the risk to thin the blood that much

Q

Some details on how you know it is a shower stroke/ what is it?
(4)

A

~Occlusive, but sometimes when a clot breaks off and a lot of little clots will break off too
~Lots of little strokes all over
~Can occur after surgeries when you are trying to prevent/correct for a stroke- endarterectomy (plaque build up in the carotids)
~The plaque can lead to a shower stroke if all the plaque is not sucked up

~Local aphasia
~Disorganized
~Slow and cautious; overly aware of their impairments
~They think they are doing horrible/ afraid/ etc; have to talk them into doing something
~Have some processing delays

32
Q

Symptoms that appear when there’s a stroke on a right or left

A

~Visual- homonymous hemianopsia
~Lability- unstable personality (person can be crying and they don’t have a reason to)
~Apathy, irritable, anxiety, depression
~Confusion, short attention span, loss of memory

33
Q

When people are recovering from a stroke, they will often ask…

A

When am I going to get better?

34
Q

Recovering from a stroke: what are some things that are going on that are helping

A

~Angiogenesis, plasticity, collateral blood flow helps with recovery
~Thinning the blood, keeping the inflammatory response down
~Pts are going to sleep a lot!
~Neuroplasticity- need stimulus (we will help to cause it) to help cause new connections and strengthen the old ones
~Have to start moving them fast so that something will start to form in the brain

35
Q

Recovering from a stroke: what are some things that will help if they are flaccid?

A

~go into weight bearing to cause compression in jts
~will get them to have muscle firing
~Be careful to make sure that when you are doing this that the pt is in proper alignment so that they do not have impingements later
