Thanks you for posting other interesting topics that i wouldn't normally venture on my own, it's nice to add more knowledge to brain.

@starward Recovery after stroke can be very difficult. In terms of best chances of recovery this depends on what part and how much of the brain has been damaged. This depends on what blood vessel was affected. The Bamford classification of stroke is widely used to determine prognosis. Btw. lowering the BP too quickly can be very dangerous post-haemmorhagic stroke (due to cerebral autoregulation) and can lead to further ischaemia.

@spazzmonster Bleeding does cause dysfunction. A haemmorhagic stroke exerts its effects through rupture of the involved blood vessel thereby depriving tissue of nutrients and oxygen (causing necrosis- which is the consequence of infarction). The presence of blood in the brain acts as space occupying lesion and directly compresses brain tissue (and other blood vessels) causing further damage. Hope that explains.

I think I may enjoy revising my AS biology course now :D

At the paramedic level, they make you know all the different names of strokes, like Pontine, lateral and a whole host of others I can't remember, especially since I'm sick now.

I remember pontine b/c the word stuck in my head for some reason. But there are about 8 other types, and we have to know them all. I'm sure your wife remembers them all. I have to read them all the time, b/c we hardly get any stroke calls.

Hi,

Can you post videos on "EKG" and how to read them? Especially the 12 lead ones. Plzz! Thanks

Fantastic video! I came across the knanacademy channel when I was doing my French Revolution exam last year. I rediscovered it today and found this particular video. Loved learning about it, very interesting. I had a Haemorrhagic stroke. If anyone has an AVM and going to have it treated by Stereotactic Radiosurgery, check my video! :)
