5. The Brain Happens in the brain
Different areas of the brain control different functions of the body
How someone is affected by a stroke will depend on which area of the brain is affected
SfC QCF Unit SCM 201

6. BRAIN
Game around this perhaps labelling different parts and different out comes eg emotions, feelings, vision, spelling words, thinking, planning, memory understanding right side left body left side right body

7. 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
Keep it basic! And brief!

8. Other conditions mistaken for stroke
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
Bells Palsy
Migraine
Epilepsy

9. 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

10. 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

11. 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
Temporary disruption of supply of blood
SfC QCF Unit SCM 201

14. Trans Ischaemic Attack
Part of the brain goes without oxygen and nutrients for a brief period of time
A sign that parts of the brain aren't getting enough oxygen
SfC QCF Unit SCM 201

15. Trans Ischaemic Attack
Only lasts a short period of time minutes or hours up to 24 hours

As a result of a blockage or bleed in the brain
Different areas of the brain relate to different areas of the body
SfC QCF Unit SCM 201

23. Key Stages of stroke
This may happen when someone is asleep and they can wake up with symptoms
Symptoms include weakness, confusion, slurred speech and drooping of eyes, mouth or face
SfC QCF Unit SCM 201

24. Key stages of stroke
Everyone's stroke is different and 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
SfC QCF Unit SCM 201

25. 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
SfC QCF Unit SCM 201

26. 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
SfC QCF Unit SCM 201

27. Key Stages of Stroke
Other areas of the brain can learn to take over from the parts that are too damaged to recover
SfC QCF Unit SCM 201

28. Key stages of stroke
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
SfC QCF Unit SCM 201

29. Key stages of stroke
Rehabilitation happens in specialist units or at home
Prevention is important as following a stroke you are at risk of having another one.

TIME = BRAIN
The quicker help is sort the quicker treatment is can be given
Limiting the damage to the brain
