Abstract

The Stroke is identified by the World Health Organization as one of the main causes of mortality in the world, it is a condition of vascular disease, which possibly leads to chronic noncommunicable disease as a factor of disability most often characterized by sudden and nonconvulsive loss neurological function, due to brain ischemia or intracranial hemorrhage. The study aims to characterize the population regarding the clinical, sociodemographic variables, tests and treatments of people diagnosed with Ischemic Stroke (stroke). This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach based on the use of data collection techniques from record sources. 196 medical records of patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke were analyzed. The results obtained were that more than 70% of the patients are over 60 years old and most of the patients were referred by the UAIs (Integrated Care Unit) or by the Municipal Hospital (41.5%). 53.6% of the participants declared themselves to be white, 49% married, nonalcoholic (61.2%) and non-smoker (33.7% of women and 29.1% of men). As for the clinical analysis, 77.6% of the participants were identified with hypertension. CT was performed in 100% of cases and in 66.8% the treatment was non-thrombolytic, mainly due to the fact that the patient was "outside the window" (33.2%). 27.1% of the patients seen had sequelae, the majority among victims over 60 years of age (19.9%), and 19 patients died of stroke (12.6%). It was concluded that the majority of patients are elderly, female, white, with a computed tomography scan being performed on all patients seen, and most of them presented altered results, thus it is the essential presence of a multidisciplinary team and nursing in the care of these patients.
