Monitoring for Poststroke Seizures
Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am.
2020 Mar.
Abstract
It is unpredictable which stroke survivors will experience a seizure following a stroke. Stroke is a major cause of seizures. Critical care nurses need to know the risk factors, type of stroke at risk, stroke location, and severity for the poststroke patient who is at risk for an early or late seizure. Poststroke seizures require appropriate nursing assessments, management, and support.
