NP: Chapter 14 Cerebrovascular disease Flashcards
stroke =
bunch of symptoms resulting from interruption of the blood supply to the brain
verschil infarct en ischemia
beiden: obstruction of an artery causing the blood supply to be blocked
ischaemia = nog niet afgestorven
infarct = afgestorven
hoeveel mensen met stroke hebben infarct
80%
fijn, want infarct lijkt me makkelijker weg te halen
ischemic stroke =
blood deprived area door een blockage of obstruction
hemorrhagic stroke =
bleeding area, door weak spot in vascular walls, leaks blood into the brain
dus hemorrhage = bloeding
dus verschillen ischemic en hemorrhagic stroke
ischemic = obstruction
hemorrhage = ruptured blood vessel
in most cases a stroke is manifested as…
acute loss of function in arm or leg on one side of the body
drooping corner mouth
difficulty speaking
waarbij zie je consciousness in de patienten en waar zie je decline in consciousness
consciousness = infarct
decline in consciousness = hemorrhage
welke measurement in de acute phase
ct scan of mri scan
(om te bepalen of het infarct of hemorhage was)
hoeveel strokes per jaar
17 miljoen wereldwijd
leading cause of death van stroke?
second, for ppl 60+
most infarcts are caused by…
= dus ischemic stroke!
embolism -> blood clot
wat is een transient ischemic attack TIA
ischemic stroke, door embolism, waarvan de symptomen binnen 24 uur verdwijnen (meeste verdwijnen binnen 30 minuten)
wat is de loss of function van een tia
meestal temporary, maar soms subtle cognitive effects
main risk factor for infarct?
age
other risk factors for infarcts
door atherosclerosis -> smoking, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, hypercholesterolemia
hoeveel mensen met infarct hebben cardiac disease
1/6
helft van de hemorrhages komen door
high blood pressure (50%!!)
4 andere causes van hemorrhage
arteriovenous malformation
inflammation of vascular wall
coagulopathy
brain tumor
subarachnoid hemorrhage symptoms
severe headaches, neck stiffness for a few hours
how many patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage SAH do not have significant loss of function
only 1/3
dus 2/3 van de mensen met SAH hebben wel significant loss of function
doel van treatment van hemorrhage
prevent important brain areas from becoming compressed + prevention of rebleeding
ethiology of the consequences of a stroke
door de infarct zelf
damage to remote areas due to anatomical connection with remote areas is decreased -> dysfunction
