• What happens if you give tPa after 4.5 hours?
• When do I want their blood pressure high? How long do I want it high for? When do I start panicking and when do I start paging?
• Where do they actually go for a clot retrieval?
• Why doesn’t every patient who received tPa go for endovascular therapy?
• How long do we expect the cerebral edema to last for? When will that subside?

Patient’s Wife: “Why is my husband going for a repeat CT and an ECHO when they already did a bunch of tests. What are they looking for?”
Me: “Hmm I think it’s to get a clearer picture of the heart and the brain” .
Wife: “Well why do they need to test the heart when something is wrong with his head?”
Me: “I’m not sure actually . They must just want to make sure all systems are working okay”.
Wife: “Well, how long are the tests? I didn’t really sleep well last night and I want to grab a coffee but I want to be back in time for when my husband gets back”.
Me: “Oh, the tests shouldn’t be too, too long, maybe an hour”.
Wife: “Well, I’m just worried that he’s going to need me. He has trouble getting his words out and just gets so frustrated. Is that something that normally gets better? Do you think he can understand me?”
Me: “Hmm… you’re going to have to speak to the neurologist on that one”.

CASE
On November 29th, 2013, Mr. King was feeling dizzy while he was walking up the stairs inhis home. His wife was running errands during the day, so he called his neighbor. Hisneighbor then called 911, and Mr. King was brought to the emergency department byEMS within 1.5 hrs of his symptom onset.
He waited in the emergency department, where his dizziness was first attributed to thefact that he did not eat breakfast that morning.
![Page 32: A day in the Life - Dalhousie University · A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A STROKE PATIENT NURSING PERSPECTIVE Noorin Darvesh BScN, RN, CNN (C) Clinical Nurse Educator, Unit 58. South Health](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041700/5e40eb5cc4eb0a51bd76a0cf/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
He underwent further neurological testing, and his brain CT scan did not show blood. Hedid not receive tPa in the emergency department, and he was diagnosed with a TIA.
His signs and symptoms included homonymous hemianopsia, ataxia, and numbness onhis left side, which unfortunately did not resolve.
After further testing in the emergency department, he was diagnosed with a PosteriorCommunicating Artery stroke, and he was later transferred to an inpatient unit.
![Page 33: A day in the Life - Dalhousie University · A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A STROKE PATIENT NURSING PERSPECTIVE Noorin Darvesh BScN, RN, CNN (C) Clinical Nurse Educator, Unit 58. South Health](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041700/5e40eb5cc4eb0a51bd76a0cf/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Throughout the course of his one week stay in hospital, he remained alert and fullyoriented, but he did have short-term memory deficits.
In the case of this patient, it is important to consider that although he was alert andoriented x 3, he actually couldn’t remember very much about that time period followinghis stroke.
One week after he was discharged from the hospital, he developed flu-like symptoms and a few days later was diagnosed with a hemorrhagic transformation.
