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


Other conditions mistaken for stroke

• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

• Bells Palsy

• Migraine

• Epilepsy


What is Stroke?

• Two types of stroke

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

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


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


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

• TIA or mini stroke

• Similar signs to a stroke

• A sign that parts of the brain aren't getting enough oxygen



• Only lasts a short period of time minutes or hours up to 24 hours

depending on the area of the brain that is effected and the damage that is done

• FAST can help recognise the symptoms

• Emergency treatment is needed


Key Stages of stroke

• Admitted to hospital where test and scans such as MRI and CT are preformed to confirm stroke and its type

• Admitted to specialist stroke unit and treatment would be given depending on the type of stroke


Key stages of stroke

• Treatment is given depending on the type of stroke that has happened such as clot busting medication for ischemic strokes

• As the swelling decreases damaged areas of the brain may recover


Key Stages of Stroke

• Other areas of the brain can learn to take over from the parts that are too damaged to recover



• Most recovery usually happens in the first few months following a stroke however recovery can take many years

• Assessments and support would be available such as SALT and physiotherapists



• Rehabilitation happens in specialist units or at home

• Prevention is important as following a stroke you are at risk of having another one.
