14 Cerebrovascular Accident Nursing Care Plans
Cerebrovascular accident is the sudden death of some brain cells due to lack of oxygen when the blood flow to the brain is impaired by blockage or rupture of an artery to the brain. It is also known as stroke. CVA can be ischemic or hemorrhagic. Hemorrhagic strokes results from a weakened vessel that ruptures and bleeds into the surrounding brain. The blood accumulates and compresses the surrounding brain tissue. The two types of hemorrhagic strokes are intracerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage. Hemorrhagic strokes have the slowest recovery of all types of stroke.
The nursing goal for patients with stroke can be towards maintaining effective tissue perfusion, preventing further complications, and enhancing coping. This is a nursing care plan for patients with hemorrhagic stroke.
1 Ineffective Cerebral Tissue Perfusion
The presence of partial blockage of the blood vessel can be multifactorial. These can be due to vaso constriction, platelet adherence on rough surface, fat accumulation and therefore decreases elasticity of vessel wall leading to alteration of blood perfusion with the initiation of the clotting sequence. This may later lead to the development of thrombus which can be loosened and dislodged in some areas of the brain such as mid cerebral carotid artery that may lead to alteration of blood perfusion and further develop to cerebral infarct.
