Abstract

More than 2.400 years ago Hippocrates, recognized and described stroke (CVA) as the "sudden onset of paralysis." In ancient times the stroke became known as "stroke". This term did not indicate the specific diagnosis or cause. Doctors knew very little about the cause of the stroke and the only established therapy was to feed and care for the patient until it run its course. The first person to investigate the pathological signs of apoplexy was Johann Jacob Wepfer (1620) was the first to identify the signs "postmortem" of bleeding in the brain of patients who died of stroke. Wepfer was also the first person to suggest that apoplexy might also be caused by a blockage of one of the main arteries that supply blood to the brain. Thus, he became known as cerebrovascular disease as stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain stops. But perhaps the most interesting in the field of stroke research new development is the recent approval of a treatment with drugs that can reverse the course of stroke if given within the first hours after symptoms appear. In this paper the case of a larger, adult female patient presents, the same as history suffers a hypertensive crisis leaving in its wake a left hemiplegia. Considering that nursing a profession of health, and its principle is to protect the health of the community at large, are detailed in this case study nursing care to be applied in the case of stroke are analyzed patient risk factors and consider whether these could be modified in some way to improve the quality of life of our patients.
