Organize the characteristics of CVA

pt. 1

Groups:

(a) Left Hemisphere

,

(b) Right Hemisphere

• Decreased discrimination between left and right

• Weakness, paralyisis of the left side

• Memory deficits

• Possible dysphagia

• Decreased awareness and judgement

• Increased frustration

• Possible aphasia (expressive, receptive, global)

• Emotional liability

• Left inattention

• Left hemianospia

• Decreased abstract reasoning

• Decreased spatial orientation

• Impulsive behaviors

• Right hemianopsia

• Possible motor apraxia (ideomotor and ideational)

• Weakness, paralysis of the right side

• Decreased processing

• Decreased attention span

a _____ is usually linked to an atherosclerotic thrombosis which causes a temporary interruption of blood supply to an area of the brain.

• Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)

• Completed Stoke

• Stroke in Evolution

• Ischemic Stroke

• Embolus

Characteristics include severe headache, vomiting, high blood pressure, and an abrupt onset of symptoms. _____ usually OCCURS DURING THE DAY with symptoms evolving in relation to the speed of the bleed. Roughly half of deaths from hemorrhagic stroke occur within the FIRST 48 HOURS.

• Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)

• Ischemic Stroke

• Embolus

• Hemorrhage

Hypertension is usually a precipitating factor causing rupture an eneurysm or arteriovenous malformation. Trauma can also precipitate ______ and subsequent CVA.

• Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)

• Ischemic Stroke

• Embolus

• Hemorrhage

____ is an abnormal bleeding in the brain due to a rupture in blood supply. The infarct is due to disruption of oxygen to a area of the brain and compression from the accumulation of blood.

• Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)

• Ischemic Stroke

• Embolus

• Hemorrhage

A _____CVA usually occurs during sleep or upon awakeing after a myocardial infarction or post-surgical procedure.

• Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)

• Completed Stoke

• Stroke in Evolution

• Thrombotic

• Embolus

This type of CVA is extremely variable in onset where symptoms can appear in minutes or several days.

• Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)

• Completed Stoke

• Stroke in Evolution

• Thrombus

• Embolus

An atherosclerotic plaque develops in an artery and eventually occludes the artery or a branching artery causing an infarct.

• Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)

• Completed Stoke

• Stroke in Evolution

• Thrombus

• Embolus

Common cardiac disorders that can lead to ​ (a)   include valvular disease (i.e, rheumatic mitral stenosis), ischemic heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmias (i.e., arial fibrilation) patent foramen ovale, cardiac tumors and post cardiac catherization.

• embolism
• thrombus

An embolic CVA occurs ​ (a)   with no warning, and often presents with a headache. Common cardiac disorders that often presents with ​ (b)   .

• rapidly
• headache
• loss of apetite
• slowely
