CASE SCENARIO
A 22-year-old woman was transported to the trauma bay following a motorcycle
crash. She was immobilized on a spine board with a cervical collar in place. A single
large bore intravenous catheter was placed pre-hospital and a crystalloid bolus was
initiated. She was able to speak, and she had bilateral breath sounds. There were no
external signs of bleeding. Her pulse was 142 beats/min and thready. Her right chest
and abdomen were tender, and her pelvis was mechanically unstable. She had
deformity of her right femur and left foot. She was placed on the monitor and noted to
have an axillary temperature of 96 °F, blood pressure of 75/38 mmHg, respiratory rate of
36, and oxygen saturation of 90%. Her chest x-ray showed multiple right-sided rib
fractures but a normal mediastinal contour, and her pelvic x-ray demonstrated a 3 cm
pubic symphyseal diastasis. She had a positive focused assessment with sonography in
trauma (FAST) exam in the right upper quadrant and around the bladder. Point of care
venous blood gas testing indicated a pH of 7.28 with a lactate of 6 mg/dL and a base
deficit of 12.

This patient’s assessment of blood consumption (ABC) score was 3 on presentation;


so emergency release blood products were taken from the trauma bay refrigerator, and
the institution’s massive transfusion protocol was initiated. During this resuscitation,
equal parts packed red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, and platelets were given as
concurrently as possible. After applying a pelvic binder, a femoral arterial catheter was
placed percutaneously. Because the chest x-ray demonstrated a normal mediastinal
width, there were no clear contraindications to resuscitative endovascular balloon
occlusion of the aorta (REBOA). With ongoing hypotension and a positive FAST exam, a
REBOA catheter was advanced into the distal thoracic aorta (Zone 1) and inflated. The
patient was taken emergently to the operating room for abdominal exploration, pre-
peritoneal pelvic packing, and pelvic external fixation. Over the next 6 h she received
10 units of packed red blood cells, 10 units of plasma and 2 units of apheresis platelets.
Care was taken to include empiric calcium chloride administration during blood product
transfusion. Thromboelastographic (TEG) also indicated a need for cryoprecipitate and
demonstrated increased fibrinolysis; so tranexamic acid (TXA) was also given. Post-
operatively, her hemodynamics improved, her lactate rapidly cleared, and her TEG
normalized.

INTRODUCTION
Hemorrhagic shock is a condition of reduced tissue perfusion, resulting in the
inadequate delivery of oxygen and nutrients that are necessary for cellular function.
Whenever cellular oxygen demand outweighs supply, both the cell and the organism are
in a state of shock (Udeani, 2021)

Life-threatening decreases in blood pressure often are associated with a state of


shock – a condition in which tissue perfusion is not capable of sustaining aerobic
metabolism. Shock can be produced by decreases in cardiac output (cardiogenic), by
sepsis (distributive), or by decreases in intravascular volume (hypovolemic). The latter
may be caused by dehydration from vomiting or diarrhea, by severe environmental fluid
losses, or by rapid and substantial loss of blood. Hemorrhagic shock is a type of
hypovolemic shock, where intravascular blood loss and consequent alterations in the cell
due to the hypoxia result in tissue and organ dysfunction, leading to death once a certain
threshold level is exceeded (Hooper, 2021)

Hemorrhage is a medical emergency that is frequently encountered by


physicians in emergency rooms, operating rooms, and intensive care units. Significant
loss of intravascular volume may lead sequentially to hemodynamic instability,
decreased tissue perfusion, cellular hypoxia, organ damage, and death. Though most
thought of in the setting of trauma, there are numerous causes of hemorrhagic shock
that span many systems. Blunt or penetrating trauma is the most common cause,
followed by upper and lower gastrointestinal sources. Obstetrical, vascular, iatrogenic,
and even urological sources have all been described. Bleeding may be either external or
internal. A substantial amount of blood loss to the point of hemodynamic compromise
may occur in the chest, abdomen, or retroperitoneum. The thigh itself can hold up to 1 L
to 2 L of blood. Localizing and controlling the source of bleeding is of utmost importance
to the treatment of hemorrhagic shock (Tiangco, 2021)

Trauma remains a leading cause of death worldwide, with approximately half of


these attributed to hemorrhage. In the United States in 2001, trauma was the third
leading cause of death overall and the leading cause of death in those aged 1 to 44.
While trauma spans all demographics, it disproportionately affects the young, with 40%
of injuries occurring in ages 20 to 39 years by one country’s account. Of this 40%, the
greatest incidence was in the 20 to 24-year-old range. The preponderance of
hemorrhagic shock cases resulting from trauma is high. For one year, one trauma center
reported 62.2% of massive transfusions occur in the setting of trauma. As patients age,
physiological reserves decrease, the likelihood of anticoagulant use increases, and the
number of comorbidities increases. Due to this, elderly patients are less likely to handle
the physiological stresses of hemorrhagic shock and may decompensate more quickly.
(Hooper & Armstrong, 2021)

According to Philippine New Agency (2018), fourteen out of the 241 evaluated
cases died during treatment translating to an in-hospital mortality rate of 5.8%. Of these
BSN 4-2 GROUP 3 HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK
6

14 deaths, six (43%) had traumatic brain injuries (e.g., intracranial hemorrhage or brain
herniation), four died of septic shock, and the remaining deaths were attributed to
hemorrhagic shock, unrecognized upper airway obstruction and acute respiratory
distress syndrome. The biggest problem of injury and death, among them, is loss of
blood and organ damage due to the trauma. According to the latest data of the
Department of Health (DOH), death due to accidents is fifth among the 10 causes of
mortality among Filipinos. Around 36,329 people died from all forms of accidents. This
figure translates to 38.6 percent rate for every 100,000 Filipinos.

We, BSN 4-2 clinical group 3, chose this case study, for it will assist us widen our
knowledge about the disease we are dealing with. As student nurses, we are involved in
determining what appropriate nursing managements are to be done to the patient we are
dealing with. By doing so, we can improve our skills and expand our knowledge to
provide standard nursing care, as well as increase our critical thinking abilities and
comprehension not only of the case but also of its differences and similarities with other
cases for the study's progress and success. Knowing about this case study can provide
other nursing students with information that can help them provide nursing care
management and interventions to their patients. Aside from comprehending the pertinent
health condition, this case will investigate additional elements that can improve our
knowledge, skills, and attitude in the field of nursing practice.

her family. According to patient X, she loves to hang out with their relatives and friends.
Patient X has a good relationship with her family members.

Norms:

Social status includes family relationship or friends that state the patient's support
system in times of stress and in need. It meets a fundamental human need for social
ties, making life less stressful and social support buffers the negative effects of the
stress, thus, indicating indirectly contributing to good health outcomes (Kozier, 2016).

Analysis:

Patient X's social status is normal. She has a good relationship with her family and
friends.

II. Mental Status

General Appearance and Behavior

Patient X is well groomed and organized in her appearance. She looks weak but
able to answer all the questions asked to her with all sincerity and confidence. Patient X
is not erect posture, and she cannot move properly. She can maintain eye contact and
alertness during the interview.

Level of Consciousness

Patient X shows awareness and consciousness in her surroundings by being


able to respond and think properly.

Orientation

Patient X can tell the exact date, time, and the place where she was admitted.
She is aware in the reason of her hospitalization.

Speech

Patient X can speak clearly and express herself during the interview.

Intellectual Function

Patient X was able to understand all of the questions during the interview and the
purpose of conducting it. She could think properly on her own without the need of
companion to help her.

Norms:
BSN 4-2 GROUP 3 HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK
12

The patient should appear relaxed with the appropriate amount of concern for the
assessment. The patient should exhibit erect posture, smooth gait and symmetrical body
movement. The patient should be clean and well-groomed and should wear appropriate
clothing for age, weather, and socioeconomic status. Facial expressions should be
appropriate to the content of the conversation and should be symmetrical. The patient
should be able to produce spontaneous, coherent speech. Content of the message
should match the patient educational level. The patient should be correctly responding to
questions and to identify all the objects as requested. Denial and poor eye contact is
normal response on the first interaction that may be due to uneasiness on the presence
of a stranger or an attempt to screen or ignore unacceptable realities by refusing to
acknowledge them. The patient should demonstrate a realistic awareness and
understanding of self. The patient should be able to evaluate and act appropriately in
situations requiring judgment. Thought process should be logical, coherent and goal-
oriented. Thought content should be based on reality. (Health Assessment and Physical
Examination, 3rd Edition)

Analysis:

Being responsive and able to answer questions accordingly are the major
determinants, which indicate patient’s mental capabilities are still functioning well. He
has a normal mental status.

III. Emotional Status

While assessing Patient X, she was quite lacking of ease because of her
condition. But she still handle to cooperate with us and able to answer our questions

Norms:

Normally, the patient should have the ability to manage stress and to express
emotion appropriately. It also involves the ability to recognize, accept and express
feelings and to accept one’s limitations. (Kozier & Erb's, 2016).

Analysis:

Patient X was able to answer our questions even though she has an illness to
bear. She only subjects to the questions that is being asked to her, other than that she is
quiet.

IV. Sensory Perception

Patient X has normal hearing acuity by doing the watch tick test. She responded
that she can hear the tick of the watch. Her sense of smell is normal whereas the patient
was asked to smell a spray of alcohol on one hand and she said that she can smell it
well and both nares are noted to be patent. Her sense of taste appeared to be normal as
BSN 4-2 GROUP 3 HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK
13

she stated she can appreciate the flavor of the food that she eats almost every day. For
the sense of sight, Patient X is not wearing eyeglasses and claimed to be normal vision
of 20/20. Sense of touch is normal since the patient could easily react to the inflicted
pain and certain cold or warm temperature against her skin.

Norms:

Each of the five senses becomes less efficient as the age advances. Changes result
in loss of visual acuity, less power of adaptation to darkness and dim light, decreased in
accommodation to near and far objects. The loss of hearing is the ability related to aging
effects people over age 65. Gradual loss of hearing is more common among man than
women, perhaps because men are more frequently in noisy work environment. Older
people have a poorer sense of taste and smell and are less stimulated by food than
young. Loss of skin receptors takes place gradually, producing in increased threshold for
sensations of pain, touch, and temperature. (Fundamentals of Nursing 7th edition
Barbara Kozier)

Analysis:

Patient X’s sense of hearing and sense of touch are normal even his sense of smell
and taste. The patient was able to read the big letter in the Snellen chart and the small
letters in the smaller line she was able to read it.

V. Motor Status

Upon inspection we noted any asymmetry of muscle; unilateral atrophy will often
indicate weakness. We assess the upper extremities, the patient asked to raise her arms
parallel to the floor or bed, and then have her resist when she try to push them down.
We do the same for the lower extremities, having her raise her legs and resist when she
push them down. While the patient in bed, we assess motor strength bilaterally. Have
the patient flex and extend her arm against your hand, squeeze your fingers, lift her leg
while you press down on her thigh, hold her leg straight and lift it against gravity, and flex
and extend her foot against your hand. Using the motor scale the grade of the patient is
+1, she has no movement.

Norms:

Normal motor stability includes the ability to perform different activities without
causing pain and discomfort. It should be firm and have coordinated movements. (Estes,
2011)

Analysis:

In the test done, the patient had difficulty in moving her extremities because of
her fracture. Her grade in motor scale is +1 which indicates that there is no movement.

VI. Temperature

The table shows the temperature of the patient during her confinement:

Date Time Temperature Analysis

December 5, 2021 8:00 am 35.5 °C Abnormal

Norms:

The normal range for adults is considered to be between 36°C and 37.5 °C.
Febrile is marked or caused by fever (Kozier & Erb’s, 2016).

Analysis:

Patient X noted to have abnormal body temperature of 35.5 °C Body temperature


decreased rapidly following the onset of hemorrhage, and by the end of hemorrhage,
body temperature dropped (Mizushema, et al. 2000).

VII. Respiratory Status

The table shows the respiratory status of the patient during her confinement:

Date Time Respiratory Rate Analysis

December 5, 2021 8:30 am 36 Cpm Abnormal

Norms:

A normal respiratory rate for adult ranges from 12-20 cycles per minute. Average is
18 cycles per minute. Breathing patterns must be regular and even in rhythm. The
normal breath sound is bronchial which is high in pitch, loud in intensity and blowing or
hollow in quantity, Broncho vesicular is moderate in pitch, moderate intensity and
combination of bronchial and vesicular, and vesicular is low in pitch, soft intensity and
gentle rustling or breezy in quality (Berman et al., 2018).

Analysis:

Patient X has abnormal respiratory status. Her respiratory rate is above normal
which is 36 rpm. Lungs were auscultated for bilateral sound, after auscultation bilateral
sounds was heard.

VIII. Circulatory Status

The table shows the blood pressure of the patient during her confinement:

Norms:

Normal cardiac rate for an adult is 60-100 beats per minute while the normal
blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg. The pulse must have a regular beat and not bounding
nor weak. (Kozier & Erbs, Fundamentals of Nursing, Tenth Edition)

Analysis:

Hypotension and tachycardia are one of the common clinical S/Sx of


hemorrhagic shock. When the body compensates for volume loss it increase the heart
rate and contractility, followed by baroreceptor activation resulting in sympathetic
nervous system and peripheral vasoconstriction. As diastolic ventricular filling continues
to decline and cardiac output decreases, systolic blood pressure drops. (Armstrong,
2021).

IX. Nutritional Status

NUTRITIONAL PARAMETER
BSN 4-2 GROUP 3 HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK
16

Patient X rice, fish and meat. Sometimes fruits and vegetables. She eats 3 times
a day and drinks 8 glasses of water. She also drink coffee every morning.

Norms:

Maintaining healthy or ideal body weight requires a balance between the


expenditure of energy and the intake of nutrients. The normal eating pattern of a person
is minimum of three times per day depending upon the metabolic demands and needs of
the patient. (Kozier & Erb’s, 2016).

According to the Health Asian Diet Pyramid, there should be a daily intake of
rice, grains, bread, fruit and vegetables; optional daily for fish, shellfish, and dairy
products; weekly for sweets, eggs and poultry, and monthly for meat. There should be
an increase intake of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Include in the diet foods
higher in vitamins C and E, and omega-3 fatty acid rich foods. Fluid intake is on the
average of 8-10 glasses per day (Mohan, 2002).

Analysis:

Patient X nutritional status is normal.

X. Elimination Status:

Patient X claimed that she usually defecates once a day with semi solid
consistency, brownish in color and normal amount in elimination. She voids 4 times a
day, light yellow in color with normal amount. However, upon admission the patient’s
urine output decreases.

Norms:

The typical adult bowel movement consists of a moderate amount of formed,


brown stool that is passed without difficulty. The normal frequency of bowel elimination
varies from several stools per day to only two or three per week. Most adults experience
bowel elimination every 1 to 2 days. Normal voiding is 6 or 7 times a day with an output
of 1200 to 1500 ml a day. Urine is clear to yellowish in color. (Kozier, 2007)

Analysis:

Due to severe blood loss, Patient X urine output was decreased. Low urine output
also occurs when there is a decreased blood supply to the kidney, as occurs with
dehydration or excessive blood loss. (Stoppler, 2019)

XI. Reproductive Status

Patient X had her first menstrual period at the age of 14. The patient is not yet
menopausal. No menstrual period problems had arised as verbalized by the client. 

Norms:

The first menstruation which is menarche occurs at an average of 9 to 17 years


old. (Pilliterri, 2010).

Analysis:

The patient’s reproductive status is normal.

XII. Sleep-rest Pattern

Patient X stated that she usually sleeps 7 to 8 hours a day. She usually sleeps at
11:00 pm and wakes at 7:00 am. She usually watches television at home during rest
hours.

Norms:

Sleep refers to altered consciousness with general slowing of physiologic


process while rest refers to relaxation and calmness, both mental and physical. A typical
sleeper will pass through 7 to 9 hours of sleep and take a rest using home relaxation
activities such as reading, telling stories and others. (Rick Daniels, 2017)

Analysis:

Patient X has a normal and adequate sleep pattern.

XIII. State of Skin Appendages

According to Patient X she had no history of skin allergy. Upon inspection, the
patient skin is cold and clammy, pale brown in color, nail bed is pale pink, with slow
capillary refill of 3-4 seconds.

Norms:

Skin color varies from light to deep brown, pink to light pink and free from skin
diseases. Hair is resilient and evenly distributed. The nail plate is normally colorless and
has a convex curve. The angle between the fingernail and the nailbed is normally 160
degrees. (Kozier & Erb’s, 2015)

Analysis:
BSN 4-2 GROUP 3 HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK
18

The patient has pale or grayish skin color, cold, clammy skin due to severe blood
loss caused by hemorrhagic shock. It indicates inadequate blood flow through peripheral
tissues.

Anatomy and Physiology


Abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity

In the main, the GI tract is within the abdominal cavity. The thoracic cavity is
separated from the abdominal cavity by the diaphragm. The abdominal cavity contains
the stomach, small and large intestine, gall bladder, pancreas, and liver, and other
organs such as the spleen. There is no physical separation between the abdominal
cavity and the pelvic cavity. The
pelvic cavity contains the rectum and
other organs such as the urinary
bladder.

The abdominal and pelvic


cavities are lined with serous
membranes. The largest membrane
within the abdomen and pelvis is the
peritoneum. The peritoneum is
formed from the parietal peritoneum
and visceral peritoneum, which are
joined. The parietal peritoneum lines
the body walls and the visceral
peritoneum covers the organs. The
space between the parietal
peritoneum and the visceral
peritoneum is the peritoneal cavity, which contains fluid that enables the membranes to
slide and allows movement within the abdominal cavity. Thus mobile organs, such as the
small bowel, are able to move as the body moves. Digestive organs within the peritoneal
cavity are termed intraperitoneal, and those that are posterior to the peritoneum, such as
the pancreas and duodenum, are termed retroperitoneal organs.

Within the abdominal cavity, there are parts of the peritoneum that are folded:
this is called the mesentery. The mesentery holds parts of the digestive tract in place.
Additionally, the mesentery is a passage for blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves to
reach the digestive viscera.

Blood Supply

The blood supply to the GI tract is via the abdominal aorta: the splanchnic
circulation. The arterial blood supply to the stomach is through the coeliac artery. The
blood drains via the hepatic portal vein. The blood supply for the liver is via the portal
circulation, with 70% of blood supply being carried to the liver from the small bowel. This
blood contains nutrients, amongst other substances. The three hepatic veins drain into
the vena cava. The other 30% of the blood supply is taken to the liver via the hepatic
artery; 25% of the cardiac output goes to the liver.
BSN 4-2 GROUP 3 HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK
27

The blood moving through the circulatory system puts pressure on the walls of
the blood vessels. Blood pressure results from the blood flow force generated by the
pumping heart and the resistance of the blood vessel walls. When the heart contracts, it
pumps blood out through the arteries. The blood pushes against the vessel walls and
flows faster under this high pressure. When the ventricles relax, the vessel walls push
back against the decreased force. Blood flow slows down under this low pressure.

D. Evaluation
A. General Condition Upon Discharge:

Upon discharge, one of the important duty of nurses is to ensure continuity of


health and quality care as the patient leaves the hospital premises by teaching the
patient about the condition, medications, care strategies and importance of follow up
and check-ups.
Furthermore, the condition of the patient has been improving after admission,
medical management given was effective all throughout the hospitalization as
evidenced by regression of Hemoon the following x-rays, and patient’s vital signs are
within normal values. Therefore, the patient was discharged last Dec 6 2021, with a
stable condition.

B. Discharge Plan Method:

M-Medication Patient X was instructed about the medication he should continue


taking, including:

Tranexamic acid (TXA)- is a medicine that controls bleeding. It


helps your blood to clot and is used for nosebleeds and heavy
periods. If you're having a tooth taken out, using tranexamic acid
mouthwash can help stop bleeding.

E-Exercise  Instruct patient to perform passive range of motion exercises on


patient’s extremities
 Instruct patient to start walking exercise after discharge with 5-10
minutes and gradually add to your distance or to the length of time
that you walk.

T-Treatment  Instruct the patient’s parents to check the list of all the medicines
the patient takes. To take medicines exactly as directed. Make sure
they have been given instructions about the medicines and how to
take them. Do not skip doses.
 Comply with the instructions and teachings given, from medication
to follow up check-ups.

H-Health  Encouraged the patient and SO to express feelings and thoughts


Teachings about her condition and the treatment.
 Educated the patient and SO how to cope up in times of stress and
anxiety.
 Advised the patient to take medications as prescribed.
 Advised the patient to make a follow-up appointment as directed.
 Advice the patient to rest and sleep as much as possible. The
BSN 4-2 GROUP 3 HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK
69

patient may be more tired than usual. Rest and sleep help the
patient’s body heal.
 Advice the family to maintain a clean environment and educate
patient and family members to be extra careful to avoid accidents.
 Instruct the patient to return visit on attending Physician for
scheduled follow up visit.
 Educate the patient to do not drive on his own if he is bleeding
excessively or if you have any symptoms of shock.
 Advice the patient’s parents to continue giving the medication as
prescribed.
 Advice the patient and SO to report to the physician if any
recurrence or severity of the symptoms, any adverse effect to the
medication and any development of the complications.

O- Out  The return visit of Patient O was scheduled after a week.


Patient/Follow
Up

D-Diet  Parents of Patient X was instructed to serve proper nutrition for the
patient, including Fruits and vegetables, food that are rich in iron
such as Red meat, pork and poultry, Seafood, Beans, Dark green
leafy vegetables, such as spinach. Dried fruit, such as raisins and
apricots.
 Lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts, seeds, legumes and
beans. Milk, yoghurt, cheese and their alternatives – mostly
reduced fat.
 Limit foods high in saturated fat such as biscuits, cakes, pastries,
pies, processed meats, commercial burgers, pizza, fried foods,
potato chips, crisps and other savoury snacks.

 Increase fluid intake as directed. Liquids help the patient to loosen


mucus and keeps him or her from becoming dehydrated.

S-Special Care The Physician advised the parents of Patient X to continue oral
medications as prescribed. There was no special care given and
advised.

III. Conclusion
Hemorrhagic stroke

Stroke is ranked as the second leading cause of death worldwide with an annual
mortality rate of about 5.5 million. Not only does the burden of stroke lie in the high
mortality but the high morbidity also results in up to 50% of survivors being chronically
disabled. Thus stroke is a disease of immense public health importance with serious
economic and social consequences. The public health burden of stroke is set to rise
over future decades because of demographic transitions of populations, particularly in
developing countries. This paper provides an overview of stroke in the 21st century from
a public health perspective. At one year, mortality ranges from 51% to 65% depending
on the location of the hemorrhage. Half of the deaths occur in the first two days. At six
months, only 20% of patients are expected to be independent. The incidence of
hemorrhage increases exponentially with age and is higher in men than in women

The key is to keep your blood pressure under control is the best way to lower the
risk.

Surveillance of closely monitored for signs of increased pressure on the brain.


These signs include restlessness, confusion, trouble following commands, and
headache. Other measures will be taken to keep you from straining from excessive
coughing, vomiting, or lifting, or straining to pass stool or change position.

In conclusion, both general and specific objectives are attained. We learned


about the nursing interventions that should be used on this type of patient. In this area of
nursing practice, we improved our knowledge and skills.

IV. Recommendation
Student Nurse

The case study is recommended for student nurses to serve as their


guideline and reference on their studies in the clinical practice in handling patient with
hemorrhagic shock they can be knowledgeable and equipped enough to render
quality nursing care to their patients.

Family Members

The case study is recommended for the patient’s family members to aid and
supply them with information for the better management of the patient’s condition.

Health Care Provider

Health Care Providers are involved in the promotion of health and disease
prevention. This study focuses on hemorrhagic shock prevention and promotion to
reduce complications and death.

V. Review of Related Literature


International

According to Abdu and seyoum that Stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is


a highly heterogeneous disorder with distinct subtypes, each presenting specific clinical
and epidemiological aspects .There are two main types of strokes. The most common
type of stroke is an ischemic stroke (IS) which covers 85% of the cases produced by a
blockage of blood vessels. The other less common type which covers about 15% of
cases of stroke is caused by bleeding in or around the brain which is called a
hemorrhagic stroke (HS).Distinguishing the category of stroke plays a vital role in
planning patient care. Simple clinical findings are helpful in distinguishing the type of
stroke. Also, the mean Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score in IS patients is higher than in
HS patients.

Acute onset of headache is the most common symptom seen in HS patients


compared to IS patients. In addition, computed tomography (CT) scan reports of IS
patients showed hypodense lesion, hyperdense artery sign, sulcus effacement, and
mass effect. However, in HS patients, a hyperdense lesion is visible. However, the
prognosis of victims depends on the type of stroke, the degree and duration of
obstruction or hemorrhage, and the extent of brain tissue death.The location of HS is an
important factor in the outcome, and this type generally has a worse prognosis than
IS.Even though simple clinical profiles help to distinguish the types of stroke, there is still
a need for diagnostic imaging . Non-contrast CT scan is the most commonly used
diagnostic imaging to distinguish two types of strokes, but it is not accessible in all
hospitals and emergency departments, which may lead to loss of treatment golden
time .Having these issues, many studies described various clinical findings especially
neurological signs and symptoms, and some of them presented formulas to distinguish
stroke types based on clinical evaluations. These characteristics including focal or
nonfocal symptoms, negative or positive symptoms, and sudden or gradual onset result
in primary segregation of stroke types in the emergency department that leads to early
diagnosis and treatment .Hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes vary according to clinical
presentations, outcome, and risk factors. The most common risk factors contributing to
the differences in manifestation and outcome of stroke types are atherosclerosis, atrial
fibrillation, and hyperlipidemia and these are by far more common in IS than in HS.

In Ethiopia, stroke is the most common neurological condition in patients


admitted to hospitals, accounting for 24% of all neurological admissions [8–10].
Moreover, the prevalence of risk factors for stroke has been increasing in Ethiopia, due
to demographic and epidemiologic shifts that affected the lifestyle of the population.
There is limited research data on the clinical presentations, risk factors, and outcomes of
stroke subtypes in Ethiopia [10] and in the study hospital as well. Recently updated
information on the IS and HS is essential for planning, implementing, and evaluating
effective and efficient preventative acute care at the health settings and for establishing
BSN 4-2 GROUP 3 HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK
73

home rehabilitation programs for those patients that have developed disabilities.
Therefore, the objective of our investigation was to identify and compare the clinical
profile, vascular and topographic distributions, associated risk factors, and outcomes of
HS and IS among patients admitted to the medical ward of Dessie Referral Hospital
(DRH).

Local

According to Collantes et al. Stroke remains the leading cause of disability and
death in the Philippines. Evaluating the current state of stroke care, the needed
resources, and the gaps in health policies and programs is crucial to decrease stroke-
related mortality and morbidity effectively. To integrate existing national laws and
policies governing stroke and its risk factors dispersed across many general policies, the
Philippine Department of Health (DOH) institutionalized a national policy framework for
preventing and managing stroke. Despite policy reforms, government financing coverage
remains limited. In terms of access to medicines, the government launched its stroke
medicine access program (MAP) in 2016, providing more than 1,000 vials of
recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rTPA) or alteplase subsidized to selected
government hospitals across the country. However, DOH discontinued the program due
to the lack of neuroimaging machines and organized system of care to support the
provision of the said medicine. Despite limited resources, stroke diagnostics and
treatment facilities are more concentrated in urban settings, mostly in private hospitals,
where out-of-pocket expenditures prevail. These barriers to access are also reflective of
the current state of human resource on stroke where medical specialists (e.g.,
neurologists) serve in the few tertiary and training hospitals situated in urban settings.
Meanwhile, there is no established unified national stroke registry thus, determining the
local burden of stroke remains a challenge. The lack of centralization and fragmentation
of the stroke cases reporting system leads to reliance on data from hospital records or
community-based stroke surveys, which may inaccurately depict the country's actual
stroke incidence and prevalence. Based on these gaps, specific recommendations
geared toward systems approach - governance, financing, information system, human
resources for health, and medicines were identified.
