- 2. DEFINITION • A stroke is the sudden death of brain cells in a localized area due to inadequate blood flow.
- 3. • Description • A stroke occurs when blood flow is interrupted to part of the brain. Without blood to supply oxygen and nutrients and to remove waste products, brain cells quickly begin to die. Depending on the region of the brain affected, a stroke may cause paralysis, speech impairment, loss of memory and reasoning ability, coma, or death. A stroke also is sometimes called a brain attack or a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). • Some important stroke statistics include:
- 4. • more than one-half million people in the United States experience a new or recurrent stroke each year • stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States and the leading cause of disability • stroke kills about 160,000 Americans each year, or almost one out of three stroke victims
- 5. • three million Americans are currently permanently disabled from stroke • in the United States, stroke costs about $30 billion per year in direct costs and loss of productivity • two-thirds of strokes occur in people over age 65 but they can occur at any age • strokes affect men more often than women, although women are more likely to die from a stroke • strokes affect blacks more often than whites, and are more likely to be fatal among blacks
- 6. • Stroke is a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment. Prompt treatment improves the chances of survival and increases the degree of recovery that may be expected. A person who may have suffered a stroke should be seen in a hospital emergency room without delay. Treatment to break up a blood clot, the major cause of stroke, must begin within three hours of the stroke to be effective. Improved medical treatment of all types of stroke has resulted in a dramatic decline in death rates in recent decades. In 1950, nine in ten died from stroke, compared to slightly less than one in three in the twenty-first century. However, about two-thirds of stroke survivors will have disabilities ranging from moderate to severe.

- 14. causes Cerebral thrombosis and cerebral embolism are caused by blood clots that block an artery supplying the brain, either in the brain itself or in the neck. These account for 70-80% of all strokes.
- 15. • Subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage occur when a blood vessel bursts around or in the brain. • Cerebral thrombosis occurs when a blood clot, or thrombus, forms within the brain itself, blocking the flow of blood through the affected vessel. Clots most often form due to "hardening" (atherosclerosis) of brain arteries.
- 16. • a transient ischemic attack, or TIA, sometimes called a "mini- stroke." In a TIA, blood flow is temporarily interrupted, causing short-lived stroke-like symptoms. Recognizing the occurrence of a TIA, and seeking immediate treatment, is an important step in stroke prevention.
- 18. Components • The Circle of Willis is composed of the following arteries:[3] • Anterior cerebral artery (left and right) • Anterior communicating artery • Internal carotid artery (left and right) • Posterior cerebral artery (left and right) • Posterior communicating artery (left and right)
- 19. Regulation of blood flow • The brain requires a contious supply of blood to provide the o2 &glucose that neuronsneed to function. Normal blood flow : 750 - 1000 ml per mts.if blood flow to the brain totally interruped , neurologic metabolism is altered in 30 seconds.metabolism stops in 2 mts ,& cellular death will occur in 5 mts. The brain normally well producted from changes in mean systemic arteral pressure over a range from 50- 150 mmhg by a mechanism of cerebral auto regulation .
- 20. Imparied auto regulation • Changes in the diameter of cerebral blood flow (ischemia) Systemic blood pressure ,cardiac output, blood viscosity. ICP
- 21. ATEROSCLEROSIS
- 22. Transient ischemic attack • Is a temporary focal loss of neurologic function caused by ischemia of the vascular territories of the brain, lasting less than 24 hours & often 15 mts. Most TIAs may be due to microembolie that temporarily block the blood flow. It is warning signs of cva. Tia depends on the blood vessel.
- 23. Types of stroke Ischemic stroke • Thrombotic stroke (lacunar stroke) • embolic stroke Hemorrhagic stroke Intra cerebral hemorrhage Subarachnoid hemorrhage
- 24. Clinical manifestation Right brain damage • Paralyzed left side • left side neglect • Spaital _ perceptual deficits • Rapid performances, short attention span • Impulsive, safety problems • Imparied judgment • Impaired time concepts Left brain damage • Paralyzed right side • Impaired speech language aphasias • Impaired RT & LT discrimination • Slow performances, cautions • Depression ,anxiety • Impaired comprehension rto language, math
