CEREBRO VASCULAR DISORDER (CEREBRO

VASCULAR ACCIDENT)

Dr. Jayesh Patidar


www.drjayeshpatidar.blospot.com

INTRODUCTION
Cerebrovascular disorders is any functional
abnormality of the central nervous system
(CNS) that occurs when the normal blood
supply to the brain is disrupted. Stroke is the
primary Cerebrovascular disorder in the
United States and in the world. stroke is still
the third leading cause of death.

ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF


NERVOUS SYSTEM
The nervous system is divided into two parts:
Central nervous system
Peripheral nervous system
ARTERIES: Two internal carotid arteries, Two
vertebral arteries

DEFINITION
A stroke, or Cerebrovascular accident (CVA),
occurs when blood supply to part of the brain
is disrupted, causing brain cells to die.

INCIDENCE
AGE : The percentage is higher for people age
65 and older. Of those who survive, 50% to
70% will be functioning independent and 15%
to 30% will live with permanent disability.
SEX : Stroke is more common in men than in
women.

RACE
African american have a higher incidence of strokes than whites.
This high incidence may be related to increase rate of hypertension,
diabetes mellitus and sickle cell anemia in african americans.
African americans also have a higher incidence of smoking and
obesity than white, which are two other risk factors for stroke.
African american are twice as likely to die from a strokes as white.
COUNTRY :
An estimated 700,000 person in the united states and 50,000 in
canada suffer a stroke annually.
Stroke is the third most commen cause of the death in the united
states and canada, behind cancer and heart disease.
In canada about 16,000 die from stroke each year, while in united
states there are over 160,000 deaths from strokes.

TYPES OF STROKE
Strokes are classified as ischemic or hemorrhagic
based on the underlying pathophysiologic
findings.

30/04/2015

www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com

11

Ischemic stroke
An ischemic stroke result from inadequate
blood flow to the brain from partial or
complete occlusion of an artery. These
account for approximately 80% of all strokes.
Ischemic stroke are further divided into
thrombotic and embolic.

30/04/2015

www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com

12

Thrombotic stroke
A thrombotic stroke occurs from injury to a blood
vessels wall and formation of a blood clot. The
lumen of the blood vessel becomes narrowed
and if it becomes occluded, infarction occur.
Thrombosis
develops
readily
where
atherosclerotic plaques have already narrowed
blood vessels. Thrombotic stroke, which is the
result of thrombosis or narrowed blood vessel, is
the most common cause of stroke. Two third of
thrombotic strokes are associated with
hypertension or diabetes mellitus

13

Embolic stroke
Another type of stroke may occur when a
blood clot or a piece of atherosclerotic plaque
(cholesterol and calcium deposits on the wall
of the inside of the heart or artery) breaks
loose, travels through the bloodstream and
lodges in an artery in the brain. When blood
flow stops, brain cells do not receive the
oxygen and glucose they require to function
and a stroke occurs. This type of stroke is
referred to as an embolic stroke.

engineered form of t PA, a thrombolytic substance made
naturally by the body. The minimum dose is 0.9 mg/kg; the
maximum dose is 90 mg.

34

Hemorrhagic strokes
Hemorrhagic strokes account for 15% of
cerebrovascular disorders and are primarily
caused by an intracranial or subarachnoid
hemorrhage
Hemorrhagic strokes are caused by bleeding into
the brain tissue, the ventricles, or the
subarachnoid space. Primary intracerebral
hemorrhage from a spontaneous rupture of small
vessels accounts for approximately 80% of
hemorrhagic strokes and is primarily caused by
uncontrolled hypertension
30/04/2015

www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com

35

Pathophysiology
Etiological factors

presses on nearby cranial nerves or brain tissue

causing subarachnoid hemorrhage

increase in ICP resulting from the sudden entry of blood into the subarachnoid
space,

injures brain tissue; or by secondary ischemia of the brain resulting from the
reduced perfusion pressure

30/04/2015

www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com

36

TYPE OF HEMORRHAGE
INTRACEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE
An intracerebral haemorrhage, or bleeding into the brain
substance, is most common in patients with hypertension and
cerebral atherosclerosis because degenerative changes from
these diseases cause rupture of the vessel.

37

INTRACRANIAL (CEREBRAL) ANEURYSM


An intracranial (cerebral) aneurysm is a dilation
of the walls of a cerebral artery that develops
as a result of weakness in the arterial wall.

30/04/2015

www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com

38

SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE :
A subarachnoid hemorrhage (hemorrhage into
the subarachnoid space) may occur as a result
trauma, or hypertension.

39

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

Severe headache
Loss of consciousness
Rigidity of the back and neck (nuchal rigidity)
Pain in spine due to meningeal irritation
Visual disturbance (visual loss, diplopia,
ptosis)

ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSTIC


FINDING :
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION :
CT Scan : To determine the size and location of the
hematoma as well as presence or absence of ventricular
blood.
Cerebral angiography : To confirm the diagnosis of an
aneurysm or AVM.
Lumber puncture
PREVENTION:
Control hypertension.
Stop smoking.
Stop to take alcohol.
Avoid to take high cholesterol diet

41

SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
Craniotomy : Many patients with a primary
intracerebral hemorrhage are not treated
surgically. However, surgical evacuation is
strongly recommended for the patient with a
cerebellar hemorrhage if the diameter
exceeds 3 cm. Surgical evacuation is most
frequently accomplished via a craniotomy.

30/04/2015

www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com

42

Extracranial-intracranial arterial bypass :


An extracranial-intracranial arterial bypass may be performed to
establish collateral blood supply to allow surgery on the
aneurysm. Alternatively, an extracranial method may be used,
whereby the carotid artery is gradually occluded in the neck
to reduce pressure within the blood vessel.

30/04/2015

www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com

43

POST OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS :


Intraoperative embolization
Postoperative internal artery occlusion
Fluid and electrolyte disturbances

30/04/2015

www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com

44

NURSING DIAGNOSIS :
Ineffective cerebral tissue perfusion related to
bleeding
Disturbed sensory perception related to
medically imposed restrictions (aneurysm
precautions)
Anxiety related to illness and/or medically
imposed restrictions (aneurysm precaution)
