ICTUS, ENFERMEDAD CEREBROVASCULAR/ complicacionesAbstract
Background: cerebrovascular disease, also known as cerebrovascular accident or stroke, represents 90 % of neurological diseases and is the third leading cause of death in most developed countries.
Objective: to describe the behavior of the complications of cerebrovascular diseases.
Methods: an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out with a population of 198 patients and a sample of 99, which was determined through a simple random probabilistic sampling.
Results: the predominant age group with 41.5 % was 76 years or more. In the female sex, they presented with an incidence of 62.7 %. The toxic habits presented with great relation with the appearance of these diseases showing the consumption of coffee with 59.9 %, the cigar with 26.9 % and the alcohol with 13.2 %. Cerebrovascular diseases of the ischemic type predominated in frequency over those of the hemorrhagic type with 75.8 %. The complications of these diseases varied according to the nature of the same. Mortality manifested in 27.3 % of cases.
Conclusions: the cerebrovascular diseases of ischemic type appear with a frequency considerably superior to the hemorrhagic one. The main complications of cerebrovascular diseases were pressure ulcer, pneumonia, cerebral edema and hydrocephalus. Most cases of cerebrovascular diseases reach resolution based on exclusive medical treatment.
