Stroke Treatment and Nursing Care

- Introduction

An ischemic stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced. This prevents brain tissue

from receiving oxygen and nutrients, and brain cells begin to die within minutes. Another type of stroke is hemorrhagic stroke.

It occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or ruptures, causing bleeding within the brain. The accumulated blood increases pressure on brain cells and damages them.

Stroke is a medical emergency, and immediate medical treatment is essential. Rapid access to emergency care can reduce brain damage and other stroke-related complications.
