Program Description This course provides a more advanced review of the ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patient. It also offers a comprehensive review of anatomy, assessments and diagnostics, providing an in-depth refresher on the pathophysiology and care of the stroke patient. It reviews the various types of strokes and interventions, both pharmacologic and endovascular. The course covers the comorbidities of stroke in present-day patients; it also covers the complications and bed-side treatment modalities, such as intracranial pressure (ICP) and targeted temperature management (TTM). Program Learning Outcomes This program prepares the learner to: 1. The learner will recognize the continuum of care for the various stroke patients, from initial presentation to discharge and into the community. Module Description Hemorrhagic strokes make up a small percentage of strokes and are further broke down into intracerebral hemorrhages (ICHs) and subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAHs). Each stroke type has the potential to cause severe neurological deficit through secondary injury. Nursing interventions and stroke management can deter the development of secondary injury, including potential ischemic stroke from vasospasm. Module Learning Objectives This module prepares the learner to: 1. Explain the pathophysiological mechanism of hemorrhagic stroke. 2. Name how cerebral vasospasm is diagnosed.
