CASE PRESENTATION OF HEMORRHAGIC STROKE (Subarachnoid hemorrhage)

Presented By: GROUP 3 Vernalin Terrado Lerma Auman Elenita Molina Richelle Manlangit Andres Jose Bernard Bartolome Marlen Tigno

Subarachnoid hemorrhage

INTRODUCTION: A Stroke, cerebrovascular Accident, or what is now being termed as “brain attack” is a sudden loss of brain functions resulting from disruption of blood supply to a part of the brain resulting from pathologic blood vessels. It denotes an abnormality of the brain. Stroke can be classified into ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. Ischemic stroke can be divided into thrombotic and embolic stroke. Thrombotic stroke results from the narrowing or occlusion of blood vessels due to fat deposits while embolic strokes result from the occlusion of a blood vessel from a blood clot originating from the other parts of the body, most commonly from the heart.

Hemorrhagic stroke is further classified into intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage. It results from the rupture of blood vessels in the brain. Rupture of arterioles result in bleeding into the parenchyma of the brain, while rupture of larger arteries or its tributaries result in bleeding in the subarachnoid space. Normal brain metabolism is impaired by interruption of blood supply, compression and increased ICP. Usually due to rupture of intracranial aneurysm, AV malformation, Subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke includes age, gender, race, hypertension, smoking and use of illicit drugs. A stroke causes a wide variety of neurologic deficit, depending on thelocation of the lesion,the size of the area of inadequate perfusion and the amount of severity of blood flow. It may include vomiting, headache, seizures, hemiplegia and loss of consciousness. Pressure on the brain tissue from increase intracranial pressure may cause coma and death.

General Objectives:

The primary concern of this study is to further enhance the understanding of Cerebrovascular Accident in congruence with the learned concepts of the Nursing students.

Objectives of the Study: This case presentation seeks to provide different information about the disease to be presented about the client being considered with the ff. specific objectives: 1. Give a brief introduction about Cerebrovascular Accident together with it clinical manifestations. 2. Present a theoretical framework for the study in relation to a nursing approach applied to a patient with hemorrhagic stroke. 3. Present the clients demographic and health history with its Gordons eleven functional health pattern.

4. Present the abnormal results of the physical assessment and compare it to the normal values or findings. 5. Present the different laboratory test and results done to the client with its interpretation. 6. Discuss the normal Anatomy and Physiology of Circulatory and Central Nervous System. 7. Explain the Pathophysiology of Hemorrhagic stroke

8. Identify Nursing Problems related to the situation and case of the client 9. Discuss the drugs that has been used and prescribed to the client by a drug analysis. 10. Present a Nursing Care Plan for the prioritized problems of the client. 11. Show a Discharge Planning that the client may use upon discharge to the hospital.

Comprehensive History: Biographic History: Name City Address Provincial Address Age Gender Religious Affiliation Marital Status Occupation Source of Information Room & Bed No. Date of Birth Diagnosis Physician Chief complaint: Date of admission

: D.A.C :Blk 14, lot 52 PVR-1, Norzagaray, Bulacan :Romblon (Visayas) : 53 years old : Male : Roman Catholic : Married : Unemployed (formerly a construction worker) : Daughter : Male Ward Bed #9 : November 18, 1955 : Cerebrovascular Accident (subarachnoid hemorrhagic) : Dr. Steve Conneroid : Loss of consciousness : January 05, 2009

Present Condition: Two days prior to admission, the patient experienced high blood pressure accompanied by low grade fever. At that time, the client is having an argument with his daughter that day before the time he was admitted which serves as a triggering factor of his present illness. Upon admission her daughter claim that her father experienced severe headache followed by loss of consciousness. After series of tests he was diagnosed to have experienced or suffered a hemorrhagic stroke.

Past Medical History: Three months prior to admission, the patient Experienced intermittent flu and Arthritis in both knees. While on this condition, the patient’s blood pressure keeps elevating at a range of 150/90 mmHg To 190/100 mmHg. The patient also experienced a vehicular accident on his bicycle two months ago, but no abnormal manifestation has been observed aside from multiple superficial wounds.

Family History: The paternal side of the patient has a history of pulmonary tuberculosis. The maternal side of the patient has a history of hypertension and heart disease.

Activities of daily living A. Health perception and health management pattern According to her, her father doesn’t go to the doctor for consultation on his health status. He seldom takes any medicine for his common illnesses though he sometimes takes paracetamol to relieve fever. She also states that her father is a heavy alcohol drinker and cigarette smoker.the patient self perception of health prior and upon hospitalization is undermined because the patient is in the state of coma.

B. Nutritional and Metabolic Pattern Before the patient was hospitalized, he normally eats fried chicken, especially the skin, chicharon and processed meats such as tocino and longganisa. He seldom eat vegetables and fruits. He prefers meat over fish.

C. Elimination Pattern Prior to admission the patient has a regular bowel pattern but after he was hospitalized he was not able to defecate for 3 days. He urinates 5 to 7 times a day with a light yellow color before he is admitted, now he has an indwelling urinary catheter draining dark yellow urine.

D. Activity-Exercise Pattern According to the patient’s daughter, her father spends most of his time gambling or having a drinking session with neighbors and friends. He doesn’t have a job and he didn’t mind looking for one. He doesn’t help in household chores instead he preferred spending his time watching television.

E. Sleep – Rest Pattern The patient has a habit of taking short nap in the afternoon for 2 hours. In the evening he usually retires at around 2:00am and usually sleeps for 3 hours. This is primarily due to his fathers’ failing ability to promote sleep.

F. Cognitive – Perceptual Pattern The patient can read and write, he doesn’t have hearing difficulty before he was hospitalized. He doesn’t wear eyeglasses. His daughter said that her father still possess a sharp memory and still recalls past experiences with spontaneity. Her daughter also reported that her father doesn’t have any speech problem and has a normal sense of taste and smell before he was hospitalized.

H. Role – Relationship Pattern Significant people to the client are his family. He is the head of the family. His daughter stated that the only problem they have is the hospitalization of her father because of financial problems that arises from it. They resolve and manage their problems through constant communication themselves.
