Burns Management and Stroke/TIA Care

This assignment provides a detailed examination of anesthesia management in the context of stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA). It covers the causes of these conditions, including blood clots and emboli that interrupt blood flow to the brain. The assessment section outlines clinical presentations such as hemiplegia, dysphagia, and visual disturbances, as well as mimics like conversion disorder, seizures, and post-ictal states. Management strategies are discussed, including oxygen therapy, medications like anti-emetics and analgesia, and antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel. The impact of treatment options is also explored, highlighting the benefits of aspirin and clopidogrel in preventing clot formation and reducing stroke risk.
