You will learn the specific care required by patients with cerebrovascular pathologies and recognize the symptoms of stroke according to its location and etiology"

This program in Cerebrovascular Diseases and Neurological Oncology for Nursing addresses the different cerebrovascular diseases that exist and their impact on population mortality. Stroke is the most common cerebrovascular disease, which can cause severe disability in adults, and is the leading cause of mortality in women in different countries around the world. Therefore, stroke will be defined according to its location and etiology, addressing cerebral hemorrhages, cerebral venous thrombosis, cerebrovascular syndromes and transient ischemic attacks.

A fundamental topic when suffering a stroke will also be discussed, which is neurorehabilitation, the most up-to-date treatments and how it influences in increasing the affected patient's capacity for independence. The student will learn the importance of activating the Stroke Code and the treatment of acute stroke in Stroke Units. To improve the speed of care, the Stroke Code was created. We will describe how this code is activated, what is the circuit to be followed and how it is treated in the hospital emergency room and subsequently in the stroke unit.

In this case, the specific treatment will depend on the patient, the evolution of the process and the type of stroke. Since 2012, a highly specialized treatment called vascular neurointerventionism has been performed, which will be extensively detailed in the module. In all possible cases, management in specialized units called Stroke Units is recommended. Diagnostic measures, general care, specific treatment and control of complications are applied to ensure the best outcome for patients. A highly trained nursing team is essential for this purpose. In addition, a glossary of terms will be provided to enable the nursing staff to perform a correct neurological assessment of the patient.

Similarly, the definition of the most up-to-date treatments and specific nursing care in cerebrovascular pathologies and tumor processes is established in such a way that this knowledge is integrated to be able to perform a specific assessment by functional patterns and diagnose according to NANDA taxonomy, planning outcome criteria according to NOC taxonomy and nursing interventions according to NIC taxonomy. 

Under the slogan "Time is brain", which reflects the importance of receiving medical and nursing care as soon as possible in the event of a stroke, the Stroke Code is activated. This postgraduate diploma gives you all the guidelines to follow in the established protocol"
