Cerebral hypoxia c54863a9e695e973851621fd45483c3a

Defination

Specifically that invoithe brain

When brain is completely deprived of oxygen

Is a form of reduced supply of oxygen

Causes

Hypotension

Anesthesia complications during surgery

Brain injury, cjoking

Breathing carbon monoxide poisoning

Clinical manifestations

Loss of memory and decreased in motor coordination

The brain cells are very sensitive to oxygen deprivation

Includes inattentiveness, poor judgement

And may begin to die within five minutes after oxygen supply has been cutted off

Pathophysiology

Brain needs a very constant supply of oxygen and nutrients

This condition affects the largest part of brain

Called the cerebral hemisphere

Pharmacological management

It occurs when there is no enough oxygen reaching the brain

Hypoxemia may be caused by underlying condition such as asthma and pneumonia

So oxygen supplement must be provided

Oxygen therapy can be utilized to treat hypoxemia

Nursing care plan

Stroke risk screening to make the risk of stroke is being prevented sooner

Low dose of aspirin to lower risk of stroke

Teach patient on how to maintain healthy lifey and healthy diet

Establish endotracheal tube to establish patent airway
