3 Learning Objectives Participant will understand the impact that strokes have on our national and state finances. Participant will be able to identify stroke signs and symptoms. Participant will be introduced to the RACE stroke scale and understand how it relates to pathophysiology.
4 Stroke Facts Stroke is the 5 th leading cause of death in the US. 130,000 cases in Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability and the leading preventable cause of disability. Median Stroke survivor in US in 2010 was 6.8 years. Estimated cost of 36.5 billion dollars in 2010 in the US.
5 Stroke Facts American Heart Association predicts stroke prevalence to increase by nearly 25 % by Total hospital charges for stroke in Nebraska increased from $ 54,000,000 to $ 108,000,000 from 2001 to Average charge per stroke hospitalization in NE was $ 31,000 in Nebraska Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program and Data Summary by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services
6 Stroke Facts One in three stroke emergencies don t use EMS. During a stroke emergency, quick treatment is critical. Patients with ischemic strokes who receive tpa are more likely to recover fully or have less disability than patients who do not receive the drug.
7 Stroke Facts Patients treated with tpa are also less likely to need long-term care in a nursing home. Unfortunately, many stroke victims don t get to the hospital in time for tpa treatment. For each minute a stroke goes untreated and blood flow to the brain continues to be blocked, a person loses about 1.9 million neurons, 14 billion synapses, and accelerated aging of 3.1 weeks. For each hour; lose 120 million neurons, 830 billion synapses, and accelerated aging of 3.6 years.
8 The Need for Speed EMS is the fastest way to get there, according to research in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes strokeassociation.org

13 Types of Stokes Ischemic account for 87 % of all strokes An ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel that supplies the brain becomes blocked or "clogged" and impairs blood flow to part of the brain. Thrombotic Clot or blockage develops inside the brain blood vessels themselves. Embolic Clot or plaque develops in vessels outside the brain and travels to vessels in the brain via the blood stream Hemorrhagic account for remaining 13 %
