PATOFISIOLOGI
Oklusi
Penurunan perfusi jaringan serebral
Iskemia

Edema serebral
Aktivitas elektrolit terganggu

Gangguan neurologis
Trombosis (penyakit trombo - oklusif) merupakan
penyebab stroke yang paling sering.
Arteriosclerosis selebral dan perlambatan sirkulasi
selebral adalah penyebab utama trombosis
selebral, yang adalah penyebab umum dari stroke.
Tanda-tanda trombosis selebral bervariasi. Sakit
kepala adalah awitan yang tidak umum. Beberapa
pasien mengalami pusing, perubahan kognitif atau
kejang dan beberapa awitan umum lainnya.
Secara umum trombosis selebral tidak terjadi
secara tiba-tiba, dan kehilangan bicara sementara,
hemiplegia atau parestesia pada setengah tubuh
dapat mendahului awitan paralysis berat pada
beberapa jam atau hari.
Trombosis terjadi biasanya ada kaitannya
dengan kerusakan local dinding pembuluh
darah akibat aterosklerosis. Proses
aterosklerosis ditandai oleh plak berlemak pada
pada lapisan intima arteria besar. Bagian intima
arteria sereberi menjadi tipis dan berserabut,
sedangkan sel sel ototnya menghilang.
Lamina elastika interna robek dan berjumbai,
sehingga lumen pembuluh sebagian terisi oleh
materi sklerotik tersebut. Plak cenderung
terbentuk pada percabangan atau tempat
tempat yang melengkung. Trombi juga dikaitkan
dengan tempat tempat khusus tersebut.
Pembuluh pembuluh darah yang mempunyai
resiko dalam urutan yang makin jarang adalah
sebagai berikut : arteria karotis interna, vertebralis
bagian atas dan basilaris bawah. Hilangnya intima
akan membuat jaringan ikat terpapar. Trombosit
menempel pada permukaan yang terbuka
sehingga permukaan dinding pembuluh darah
menjadi kasar.
Trombosit akan melepasakan enzim, adenosin
difosfat yang mengawali mekanisme koagulasi.
Sumbat fibrinotrombosit dapat terlepas dan
membentuk emboli, atau dapat tetap tinggal di
tempat dan akhirnya seluruh arteria itu akan
tersumbat dengan sempurna.

Embolisme
Embolisme sereberi termasuk urutan kedua dari
berbagai penyebab utama stroke. Penderita
embolisme biasanya lebih muda dibanding dengan
penderita trombosis. Kebanyakan emboli sereberi
berasal dari suatu trombus dalam jantung, sehingga
masalah yang dihadapi sebenarnya adalah
perwujudan dari penyakit jantung. Meskipun lebih
jarang terjadi, embolus juga mungkin berasal dari
plak ateromatosa sinus karotikus atau arteria karotis
interna. Setiap bagian otak dapat mengalami
embolisme, tetapi embolus biasanya akan
menyumbat bagian bagian yang sempit.. tempat
yang paling sering terserang embolus sereberi
adalah arteria sereberi media, terutama bagian atas.
perdarahan serebri termasuk urutan ketiga dari
semua penyebab utama kasus GPDO (Gangguan
Pembuluh Darah Otak) dan merupakan
sepersepuluh dari semua kasus penyakit ini.
Perdarahan intrakranial biasanya disebabkan oleh
ruptura arteri serebri.
Ekstravasasi darah terjadi di daerah otak dan /atau
subaraknoid, sehingga jaringan yang terletakdi
dekatnya akan tergeser dan tertekan. Darah ini
sangat mengiritasi jaringan otak, sehingga
mengakibatkan vasospasme pada arteria di sekitar
perdarahan. Spasme ini dapat menyebar ke
seluruh hemisper otak dan sirkulus wilisi
Bekuan darah yang semula lunak menyerupai selai
merah akhirnya akan larut dan mengecil. Dipandang
dari sudut histologis otak yang terletak di sekitar
tempat bekuan dapat membengkak dan mengalami
nekrosis. Karena kerja enzim enzim akan terjadi
proses pencairan, sehingga terbentuk suatu rongga.
Sesudah beberapa bulan semua jaringan nekrotik akan
terganti oleh astrosit dan kapiler kapiler baru
sehingga terbentuk jalinan di sekitar rongga tadi.
Akhirnya rongga terisi oleh serabut serabut astroglia
yang mengalami proliferasi.
Perdarahan subaraknoid sering dikaitkan dengan
pecahnya suatu aneurisme. Kebanyakan aneurisme
mengenai sirkulus wilisi. Hipertensi atau gangguan
perdarahan mempermudah kemungkinan ruptur. Sering
terdapat lebih dari satu aneurisme.
PRINSIP-PRINSIP PATOFISIOLOGI
Jika aliran darah ke setiap bagian otak
terhambat karena trombus atau embolus
mulai terjadi kekurangan oksigen ke jaringan
otak
Kekurangan selama satu menit dapat
mengarah pada gejala-gejala yg dapat pulih
seperti kehilangan kesadaran
Kekurangan oksigen dalam waktu yang lebih
lama menyebabkan nekrosis mikroskopik
neuron
Area nekrotik disebut infark
Kekurangan oksigen pada awalnya mungkin akibat
iskemik umum (karena henti jantung, hipotensi,
hipoksia, proses anemia, atau kesukaran bernapas)
Jika neuron hanya mengalami iskemik, dan belum
terjadi nekrosis ada peluang untuk
menyelamatkannya
Stroke karena embolus dapat merupakan akibat
dari bekuan darah, plak ateromatosa fragmen,
lemak atau udara
Emboli pada otak kebanyakan berasal dari
jantung, sekunder terhadap infark miokard atau
fibrilasi atrium
Jika etiologi stroke adalah hemoragi: maka faktor
pencetus: biasanya hipertensi abnormalitas
vaskular seperti anuerisma serebral lebih rentan
terhadap ruptur dan menyebabkan hemoragi pada
keadaan hipertensi

ISCHEMIC Brain

HEMORRHAGIC
Brain vessel
thrombosis
Intracerebral
hemorrhage
Pathophysiology of ischemic infarct -
Penumbra
The occlusion of a cerebral vessel is Infarct Penumbra
followed by formation of a central
irreversible tissue necrotic lesion,
where the brain blood flow is
reduced < 15% (<20 ml/100gr/min),
with a peripheral zone, the Penumbra
(20 - 30 ml/100gr/min), where tissue
is viable and functional disturbance is
reversible due to partial preservation
of blood supply via emissary vessels,
if ischemia reverses on time
Depending on the grade of blood
flow reduction and its duration, after
an ischemic interval, Penumbra
becomes necrotic
Experimental studies report that the
infarct s formed 3-12 h after
initiation of ischemia and continues to
develop even after 24h, although in a
much slower rate (24-72h <30%
increase)

Pemeriksaan
CT Scan. Pemeriksaan awal untuk nenentukan
apakah pasien termasuk strok hemoragik atau non
hemoragik. Pemeriksaan ini dapat melihat adanya
edema, hematoma, iskemia dan infark.
Angiografi Serebral. Membantu menentukan
penyebab strok secara spesifik, seperti perdarahan
atau obstruksi arteri, ada tidaknya oklusi atau
rupture.
Pungsi Lumbal. Menunjukkan adanya tekanan
normal dan biasanya ada trombosisi, emboli
serebral, TIA.
MRI. Menunjukkan daerah yang mengalami infakr,
hemoragik, kelainan bentuk arteri-vena.
EEG. Mengidentifikasi masalah didasarkan pada
gelombang otak dan mungkin

Penatalaksanaan
Penatalaksanaan strok dapat dibagi
menjadi dua fase yaitu fase akut dan

tindakan keperawatan ditujukan
untuk mempertahankan fungsi vital

perbaikan neuron.
