About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Cerebrovascular Accident”.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA), commonly known as a stroke. Cerebrovascular Accident is a medical condition that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted, leading to brain damage or death of brain cells. The disruption in blood supply may occur due to a blockage in a blood vessel or the rupture of a blood vessel.

The symptoms of a stroke may vary depending on the part of the brain that is affected. Common symptoms include sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg (usually on one side of the body), confusion, trouble speaking or understanding speech, trouble seeing in one or both eyes, difficulty walking, loss of balance or coordination, and severe headache.

Prompt treatment is essential for a stroke, as the longer the brain goes without blood supply, the greater the damage. Treatment for a stroke may include medication to dissolve blood clots, surgery to remove a blood clot or repair a ruptured blood vessel, or rehabilitation therapy to help the person recover from the stroke and regain lost functions.

Preventive measures for strokes include maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, not smoking, controlling high blood pressure, and managing other health conditions such as diabetes and high cholesterol.

Cerebrovascular AccidentCVA
Slide 2-

Cerebrovascular Accident Results from ischemia to a part of the brain or hemorrhage into the brain that results in death of brain cells. Approximately 750,000 in USA annually Third most common cause of death #1 leading cause of disability 25% with initial stroke die within 1 year 50-75% will be functionally independent 25% will live with permanent disability Physical, cognitive, emotional, & financial impact
Slide 3-

Cerebrovascular AccidentRisk Factors Nonmodifiable: Age – Occurrence doubles each decade >55 years Gender – Equal for men & women; women die more frequently than men Race – African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asian Americans -- higher incidence Heredity – family history, prior transient ischemic attack, or prior stroke increases risk

CVA – Risk Factors
Slide 6-

Cerebrovascular AccidentAnatomy of Cerebral Circulation Blood Supply Anterior: Carotid Arteries – middle & anterior cerebral arteries frontal, parietal, temporal lobes; basal ganglion; part of the diencephalon (thalamus & hypothalamus) Posterior: Vertebral Arteries – basilar artery Mid and lower temporary & occipital lobes, cerebellum, brainstem, & part of the diencephalon Circle of Willis – connects the anterior & posterior cerebral circulation
Slide 7-

Cerebrovascular AccidentAnatomy of Cerebral Circulation Blood Supply 20% of cardiac output—750-1000ml/min >30 second interruption– neurologic metabolism is altered; metabolism stops in 2 minutes; brain cell death < 5 mins.

Cerebrovascular AccidentPathophysiology Atherosclerosis: major cause of CVA Thrombus formation & emboli development Abnormal filtration of lipids in the intimal layer of the arterial wall Plaque develops & locations of increased turbulence of blood - bifurcations Increased turbulence of blood or a tortuous area Calcified plaques rupture or fissure Platelets & fibrin adhere to the plaque Narrowing or blockage of an artery by thrombus or emboli Cerebral Infarction: blocked artery with blood supply cut off beyond the blockage
Slide 10-

Cerebrovascular AccidentPathophysiology Ischemic Cascade Series of metabolic events Inadequate ATP adenosine triphosphate production Loss of ion homeostasis Release of excitatory amino acids – glutamate Free radical formation Cell death Border Zone: reversible area that surrounds the core ischemic area in which there is reduced blood flow but which can be restored (3 hours +/-)
Slide 11-

CVA? - Call 911 Sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body. Sudden confusion or trouble speaking or understanding speech. Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes. Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination Sudden severe headache with no known cause.
Slide 12-

Cerebrovascular AccidentTransient Ischemic Attack Temporary focal loss of neurologic function Caused by ischemia of one of the vascular territories of the brain Microemboli with temporary blockage of blood flow Lasts less than 24 hrs – often less than 15 mins Most resolve within 3 hours Warning sign of progressive cerebrovascular disease
Slide 13-

Cerebrovascular Accident Transient Ischemic Attack Diagnosis: CT without contrast Confirm that TIA is not related to brain lesions Cardiac Evaluation Rule out cardiac mural thrombi Treatment: Medications that prevent platelet aggregation ASA, Plavix Oral anticoagulants

Slide 16-

Cerebrovascular AccidentClassifications Ischemic Stroke—inadequate blood flow to the brain from partial or complete occlusions of an artery--85% of all strokes Extent of a stroke depends on: Rapidity of onset Size of the lesion Presence of collateral circulation Symptoms may progress in the first 72 hours as infarction & cerebral edema increase Types of Ischemic Stroke: Thrombotic Stroke Embolic Stroke
Slide 17-

CVA Recognition
Slide 18-

Cerebrovascular AccidentIschemic – Thrombotic Stroke Lumen of the blood vessels narrow – then becomes occluded – infarction Associated with HTN and Diabetes Mellitus >60% of strokes 50% are preceded by TIA Lacunar Stroke: development of cavity in place of infarcted brain tissue – results in considerable deficits – motor hemiplegia, contralateral loss of sensation or motor ability

Cerebrovascular AccidentClinical Manifestations Intellectual Function Memory and judgment Left-brain stroke: cautious in making judgments Right-brain stroke: impulsive & moves quickly to decisions Difficulties in learning new skills
Slide 51-

Cerebrovascular AccidentClinical Manifestations Communication Left hemisphere dominant for language skills in the right-handed person & most left-handed persons -- Aphasia/Dysphasia Involvement Expression & Comprehension Receptive Aphasia (Wernicke’s area): sounds of speech nor its meaning can be understood – spoken & written Expressive Aphasia (Broca’s area): difficulty in speaking and writing Dysarthria: Affects the mechanics of speech due to muscle control disturbances – pronunciation, articulation, and phonation
Slide 52-

Cerebrovascular AccidentClinical Manifestations Spatial-Perceptual Alterations – 4 categories: 1. Incorrect perception of self & illness 2. Erroneous perception of self in space – may neglect all input from the affected side (worsened by homonymous hemianopsia) 3. Agnosia: Inability to recognize an object by sight, touch or hearing 4. Apraxia: Inability to carry out learned sequential movements on command

Cerebrovascular AccidentDiagnostic Studies Done to confirm CVA and identify cause PE: Neuro Assessment; Carotid bruit Carotid doppler studies (ultrasound study) CT – primary – identifies size, location, differentiates between ischemic and hemorrhagic CTA – CT Angiography – visualizes vasculature MRI – greater specificity than CT May not be able to be used on all patients (metal, claustrophobia) Angiography: gold standard for imaging carotid arteries
Slide 59-

Cerebrovascular AccidentTreatment Goals Drug Therapy – Thrombotic CVA – to reestablish blood flow through a blocked artery Thrombolytic Drugs: tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) produce localized fibrinolysis by binding to the fibrin in the thrombi Plasminogen is converted to plasmin (fibrinolysin) Enzymatic action digests fibrin & fibrinogen Results is clot lysis Administered within 3 hours of symptoms of ischemic CVA Confirmed DX with CT Patient anticoagulated ASA, Calcium Channel Blockers
Slide 60-

CVA - Treatment Goals Surgical Treatment Carotid endarterectomy – preventive – > 100,000/year removal of atheromatous lesions Clipping, wrapping, coiling Aneurysm Evacuation of aneurysm-induced hematomas larger than 3 cm. Treatment of AV Malformations
Slide 61-

Carotid Artery Disease
Slide 62-

Carotid Artery Disease Carotid artery disease is the leading cause of strokes. More than 50% of stroke victims present no warning signs. After age 55, the risk of stroke doubles every 10 years. 97% of the adult population cannot name a single warning sign of a stroke. 50% of nursing home admissions are stroke victims
