➡️ What is a Stroke?
A stroke occurs when there is a lack of blood supply reaching the brain. This could be due to a blockage or even a ruptured blood vessel. Like every other part of the body, the brain needs oxygen to function properly. But when arterial blood is not able to reach the brain, it means that oxygen isn't able to reach the brain either. When this occurs, tissues within the brain can be severely damaged resulting in long-term effects. Death can occur in severe cases.
➡️ There are two types of strokes to be familiar with:
1. Ischemic stroke
2. Hemorrhagic stroke
➡️ Stroke Overview
An ischemic stroke occurs when there is a blood clot or blockage in the vessels that transport blood to the brain. This is the most common type of stroke. A hemorrhagic stroke, on the other hand, occurs when a blood vessel ruptures and results in blood leakage that causes damage to tissues within the brain. This type of stroke is often due to high blood pressure. Some of the common signs and symptoms of a stroke include confusion, headache, dizziness, loss of coordination, difficulty seeing, difficulty walking, and sudden numbness or weakness on one side of the body. Certain medications may be administered for the treatment of a stroke, including vasodilators, anticoagulants, and thrombolytic. In some cases, the patient may require intubation and mechanical ventilation to assist with breathing. We created this video just to provide you with a quick overview of this topic, however, we'll be breaking it down even further in a separate video.
