Q

MOA of aminocaproic acid

A

binds with plasminogen so it can’t convert to plasmin and plasmin can’t breakdown fibrin

A

intracerebral, subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation (AVMs)

25
Q

FAST

A

face, arm, speech, time

26
Q

etiology of intracerebral hemorrhage

A

spontaneous rupture of small vessel damage by chronic HTN

27
Q

Etiology of SAH?

A

underlying cerebrovascular malformation in an otherwise normal patient

28

etiology of intracerebral aneurysm

A

vessel rupture

30
Q

Etiology of AVM

A

congenital vascular anomaly

31
Q

how is intracerebral hemorrhage controlled and treated?

A

ABCs, BP control (not too low), analgesia, sedation

32
Q

How is SAH treated?

A

prophylactic antiseizure drugs, do NOT lower BP!, CCB (Nimodipine oral liquid)

33
Q

ADR of Nimodipine

A

HOTN, HA - greater effects on cerebral arteries than other arteries

34
Q

treatment goals of ischemic stroke?

A

prevent/reverse brain injury - ABCs, watch glucose, STAT non-contrast head CT, IV thrombolysis, antithrombotic treatments

35
Q

How soon do pts with ischemic stroke need to be treated?

A

3-4.5 hours from onset of sxs, must dx and treat within an hour of presentation, brain tissue not salvageable after 4.5 hours

38
Q

what antiplatelet is used in stroke?

A

clopidogrel

39
Q

A

>120 - want to get it down to 70

40
Q

when is combination therapy of ASA and clopidogrel after stroke appropriate?

A

TIAs

41
Q

what stroke severity score is it not necessary to use alteplase?

what is the oral liquid preparation of CCB for stroke?

A

Nymalize

43
Q

how long does it take brain cells to die from ischemia?

A
