The Brain

• Happens in the brain

SfC QCF Unit SCM 201

What is a Stroke?

• The blood supply is cut off to the brain

• Stops oxygen and nutrients reaching the brain

• Damages or kills brain cells and stops parts of the brain working properly

SfC QCF Unit SCM 201

Other conditions mistaken for stroke

• Bells Palsy

• Migraine

• Epilepsy

SfC QCF Unit SCM 201

What is Stroke?

• Two types of stroke

• Ischaemic – most common type of stroke (approx 80%)

• Hemorrhagic- less common type of stroke (approx 20%)

SfC QCF Unit SCM 201

Ischaemic Stroke

• A blockage

• cerebral thrombosis a blood clot in an artery to the brain

• cerebral embolism a clot, air bubble of globule of fat carried to the brain and causing a blockage

SfC QCF Unit SCM 201

Haemorrhagic Stroke

• A bleed

• Intracerebral haemorrhage a blood vessel bursts in the brain

• Subarachnoid haemorrhage a blood vessel burst in the space between the brain and skull
