Sleep-disordered breathing, including sleep apnea, is frequent after a stroke (cerebrovascular accident or CVA). This review covers risk factors, post-stroke occurrences, and clinical implications for nurses.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Cardiovascular Science

Background:

  • Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is prevalent in patients following a cerebrovascular accident (CVA).
  • Understanding the link between SDB and CVAs is crucial for patient outcomes.
  • Risk factors contributing to SDB post-CVA require thorough investigation.

Observation:

  • The article details the characteristics of both SDB and CVAs.
  • It explores the common risk factors that connect these two conditions.
  • Specific attention is given to the occurrence and management of SDB after a CVA.

Findings:

  • Sleep apnea, both obstructive and central, is a significant comorbidity in stroke survivors.
  • Shared risk factors, such as hypertension and obesity, contribute to the incidence of both conditions.

  • The presence of SDB post-CVA can exacerbate neurological deficits and impede recovery.

    • Implications:

    • Nurses play a vital role in identifying and managing SDB in CVA patients.
    • Early detection and treatment of SDB can improve patient prognosis and quality of life.
    • Integrating SDB screening into routine post-stroke care is recommended.
