Module 5 of 13

Module Description
Hemorrhagic strokes make up a small percentage of strokes and are further broke down into intracerebral hemorrhages (ICHs) and subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAHs). Each stroke type has the potential to cause severe neurological deficit through secondary injury. Nursing interventions and stroke management can deter the development of secondary injury, including potential ischemic stroke from vasospasm.

Module Learning Outcomes
This module prepares the learner to:
1. Explain the pathophysiological mechanism of hemorrhagic stroke.
2. Name how cerebral vasospasm is diagnosed.
