With the aging population ever growing, healthcare for persons
suffering from stroke and related illnesses is increasingly
important. Evidence-Based Nursing Care for Stroke and
Neurovascular Conditions provides a comprehensive and practical
guide for novice, experienced and advanced practice nurses working
with patients suffering from stroke and other neurovascular
conditions.
With a focus specifically on neurovascular disorders, this
highly detailed text offers easy-to-find information on
evidence-based care guidelines. The book begins with a thorough
introduction to normal cerebrovascular anatomy and physiology and
common pathologic mechanisms, describing the unique challenges in
working with this patient group. Later chapters provide the
pathophysiology, diagnostic and current nursing interventions for
the care of patients with neurovascular disorders including
transient ischemic attacks, ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke,
Moyamoya, Migraines and more.
