CCRN 2

Neuro

QuestionAnswer
CVA has two categories, what are they Ischemic event, and a hemorrhagic event
Ischemic and hemorrhagic events have 3 possible subcategories - what are they TIA - transient ischemic attach RIND - reversable ischemic neurological deficit (long TIA) CI - cerebral infarct
RIND is the same as a TIA except for what takes about 3 more months to get better
With any CVA what is the end-goal decrease cerebral edema
Problem with the cortex you are ______ decordicate
Problem with the brain stem or cerebrum you ______ decerebrate
Pyramidal tracts do what make you move
if you have babinski reflex on the left side, where is the injury right side
if you have a babinkski reflex on the right side, where is the injury left side
sympathetic system makes your pupil ______ dilate
parasympathetic system makes your pupil _______ pinpoint / constrict
Which nerve controls your pupil 3rd
lateral shift of your brain in your head from blood is called a uncal herniation
Uncal herniation on the right side will cause a ______ pupil on the ______ side ipsilateral dilated, right
True/False: Manitol can be used for a uncal herniation false: don't use it - makes more room for the herniation to expand
When the brain is coming down the tentorial notch you get what kind of herniation supratentorial
What happens to LOC in a supratentorial herniation change
What happens to the pupils in a supratentorial herniation dilation
What happens to respirations in a supratentorial herniation hyperventilation
Why does the body respond with increased respirations with a supra tentorial herniation The body is attempting to compensate for increased ICP by blowing off CO2 (reduced CO2 reduces ICP)
Last thing you get when you have a supratentorial herniation cushings triad
cushings triad Increased BP, widening pulse pressure, decreased HR and RR
The foremost treatment for a person with cushings triad is what manitol - and only if its readily available
Intracranial pressure can be raised by what acidosis, hypotonic solutions, hyperextension, flexion, decreased protein intake, wrist restraints
Cerebral perfusion pressure values 70-95 mmHg
Cerebral perfusion pressure formula MAP - ICP = CPP
would you rather be stuporous or obtunded obtunded
