Post-Acute Phase Therapy of Stroke

        After the acute phase passes, goals of treatment, emphasis on patient rehabilitation measures, and prevention of recurrence of stroke.

Preventive therapy
The aim is to prevent the recurrence of stroke or the onset of a new attack, by among others treat and prevent stroke risk factors:

Treatment and Therapy of Stroke Acute Phase

       Therapy is divided into two phases, namely the acute and post-acute phase. Acute phase (0-14 days after onset of disease). Treatment goal is to rescue neurons that had not to die, and that other pathological processes that accompany not disturb / threatening brain function. Actions and drugs given should ensure perfusion of blood to the brain remained adequate, it does not reduce.So that needs to be maintained optimal function of respiration, heart, blood pressure, blood is maintained at optimal levels, control blood sugar levels (high blood sugar levels are not lowered drastically), when severe fluid balance, electrolyte, and acid-base should continue to be monitored.

How to Diagnose Stroke

How to Diganose Stroke

       Stroke is a medical emergency condition. Any person suspected of having a stroke should be immediately taken to a medical facility for evaluation and treatment. First, the doctor will ask the patient's medical history if there are danger signs ahead of time and do a physical exam.

Complications of Stroke

       Complications in stroke often occur and cause clinical symptoms of a stroke, become increasingly worse. Signs of complications should be identified early so that it can be prevented from getting worse and to determine appropriate therapy. Complications in stroke are:

Clinical Symptoms of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Stroke

      Subarachnoid hemorrhage is commonly caused by rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. Before rupture, aneurysm usually does not cause symptoms until the press on nerves or blood leaking in small amounts, usually before a large outbreak (which causes headaches). Then generate an alarm, such as the following below:

Clinical Symptoms of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Stroke

    Symptoms caused by the onset of intracerebral hemorrhage that almost always arise during the move and sometimes occurs when the patient is sleeping (only 3%). The most common symptoms are headache and vomiting. Although not specific and dependent location of the lesion, it distinguishes ischemic stroke. Headache at onset is an important clinical symptom in patients with lobar hemorrhage, caused due to local distension, distortion, or stretching superficial intracranial structures that are sensitive to pain.

Hemorrhagic Stroke

Hemorrhagic Stroke

      Hemorrhagic stroke is a stroke caused by non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. In a hemorrhagic stroke, blood vessel rupture thereby inhibiting normal blood flow and blood seeping into an area in the brain and damage. Nearly 70% of cases of hemorrhagic stroke in patients with hypertension. Hemorrhagic strokes include bleeding in the brain (intracerebral hemorrhage) and bleeding between the inner and outer layers of tissue that protects the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage). Other disorders which include bleeding within the skull, including epidural and subdural hematoma, which is usually caused by a head injury.

Clinical Symptoms of Ischemic Stroke

        Clinical symptoms of ischemic stroke can occur at different locations depending on the neuroanatomical and vascularization were attacked, among others:

1. Anterior cerebral artery
         Anterior cerebral artery is an artery that provides blood supply to an area of the cerebral cortex parasagital, which includes motor and sensory cortex area for the contralateral limb, is also the center of inhibitoris bladder (micturition center). 

Ischemic Stroke

Ischemic Stroke

       Stroke Ischemic stroke is also called obstruction, or myocardial stroke, because of the events leading to decreased blood flow or even stop at a particular area of the brain, such as the occurrence of embolism or thrombosis. The decrease in blood flow causes the neurons stop functioning. Blood flow is less than 18 ml/100 mg / min will result in neurons that are irreversible ischemia. Most of the patients or 83% had this type of stroke.

Types of Stroke

Types of Stroke Medical Treatment Therapy

   Broadly based on the pathological abnormalities occur, a stroke can be classified as ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding). In ischemic stroke, blood flow to the brain stops because of atherosclerosis or a blood clot that has clogged the arteries. In hemorrhagic stroke, blood vessel rupture thereby inhibiting normal blood flow and blood seeping into an area in the brain and damage.

Causes and Risk Factors of Stroke

         What are causes and risk factors of Stroke? nice question and we must to know the answer. Causes of stroke include atherosclerosis (thrombosis), embolism, hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage and rupture causing saccular aneurysm. Stroke is usually accompanied by one or several other diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, increased blood fats, diabetes mellitus or peripheral vascular disease.

Definition of Stroke
      Stroke is the clinical term for non-traumatic disorders of blood circulation that occurs acutely in a focal area of the brain, which results in a state of ischemia and neurologic dysfunction, focal or global, which lasted more than 24 hours, or directly cause the death. In a matter of seconds and minutes, brain cells do not receive adequate blood flow more will die through a variety of pathological processes.Typically, stroke manifest as neurological deficits appearance suddenly, such as weakness or paralysis of movement, sensory deficits, or speech impairments may also.
