Content Description
Patients presenting to the hospital with an acute ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke must be rapidly identified so that the hospitals stroke team can be accessed and emergent care provided. From the Emergent phase in the ED to the diagnostic/operative phase in Radiology/OR to the ICU, critical care nurses must be knowledgeable and involved in the care of the acute stroke patient. ICU nurses must be familiar with the national standards for stroke centers devised by the American Stroke Association, evidenced based protocols for assessing, diagnosing, and intervening with stroke patients, and the continuum of care after the patient leaves the ICU including the latest disease specific indicators from the JCAHO. This session will focus on the: a) hyperacute ischemic stroke patient including assessing, intervening with thrombolytics, and managing the critical phase after admission; b) acute ischemic stroke patient admitted to a progressive care stroke unit; and c) hemorrhagic stroke patients including critical interventions in the ED, OR, and ICU, and evidenced based protocols to reduce death/disability associated with this potentially devastating condition.
surrounded by marginally perfused area known as the penumbra i. Interruption of circulation to brain ii. Cellular responses to reduced flow c. Cerebral Edema and increased ICP i. Occurs as a natural evolution of the ischemic insult ii. Minimized if restore perfusion iii. Assess for signs of increased ICP: Decreased LOC, agitation, worsening of motor exam, papillary changes/changes in cranial nerve exam iv. Even though patient may receive thrombolysis, does not equate to no edema v. Watch the large MCA occulusions for development of malignant MCA syndrome d. Blood pressure, blood glucose and temperature Issues in Stroke Management i. BP and Stroke - Ischemic Stroke ii. Glucose iii. Body temperature 4. Identity major elements of a primary stroke center including organization, personnel and protocols a. Primary Stroke Center Characteristics i. Compliance with consensus-based national standards ii. Effective use of established clinical practice guidelines to manage and optimize care iii. An organized approach to performance measurement and improvement activities b. 2008 Framework i. Domains ii. Stroke Measures 2008 c. Evidence Based Protocols i. Emergency care of patients with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke Evidence Based practice protocols a. Review of the literature and consensus by practitioners: development of evidence based protocols; refinement of protocols based on ASA/ AHA guidelines for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke; b. Protocols: Hyperacute Ischemic/Hemorrhagic Stroke Protocol vs. Acute Ischemic Stroke Protocol i. Purpose: To rapidly identify and manage patients identified with acute ischemic stroke presenting within 6 hours of symptom onset or hemorrhagic stroke. Case Studies: Ischemic vs Hemorrhagic
Learning Outcomes
At the end of this session the attendee will be able to: 1. Differentiate between the pathophysiology of acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke 2. Relate the evidence based recommendations for primary stroke centers from the ASA/JCAHO as well as practice protocols for hyperacute ischemic/ hemorrhagic stroke to the acute stroke patient population 3. Apply the information presented on stroke management to actual case studies

Introduction
Definition
Abrupt and dramatic development of a focal neurologic deficit caused by an occlusion or hemorrhage of a vessel feeding the brain g g
Statistics
750,000 new strokes each year 3rd leading cause of death in US
Stroke Signs/Symptoms
Classic Signs/symptoms: FAST
Weakness of arm/leg Difficulty speaking Droopy smile Headache Visual problems Numbness/tingling on one side of body
Stroke Signs/Symptoms
Timing
TIAthe debate continues
Transient appearance of symptoms/signs that pp disappear within
15 minutes ??? 24 hours???
Stroke
Symptoms/signs do not go away
Stroke
Ischemic - 80-85% Hemorrhagic - 15-20%
Intracerebral Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Aneurysm Vascular Malformations
Pathophysiology
Pathology of Occlusion
Once vessel is occluded
Systemic arterial BP influences CPP and collateral blood flow during ischemia Permanent ischemic cell death ensues after 30 minutes
Continued ischemia (< 50% of baseline CBF) will kill the rest of the vessel territory What can save this area around core?
Collateral Flow
Example MCA occlusion
Leptomeningeal arteries Cross perfusion from internal system
Opposite side Posterior circulation
