I'm a neurocritical care nurse who enjoys making research, history, and neuroanatomy fun for neuronurses.
Thank you @neurocritical.bsky.social for the #curingcomacampaign and this important contribution to care. #Neuronurses are the front line of care. @nursingresearch.bsky.social @the-nnrc.bsky.social journals.lww.com/jnnonline/ab...

Perhaps the true first #stroke Doc, Wepfer brought out the idea that stroke can be cause by hemorrhage and coined the term “Circulosis Arteriosis” long before Willis drew a picture. Happy Birthday Johann from all the #strokenurses and #Neuronurses @DaiWaiOlson #askthebrainnurse

A new lit review pulls together 10 studies on nurse-implementable interventions post-stroke.
🛠️ Why it matters: nurses are in a great position to help with early detection & management; integrating these into care pathways could improve recovery.

and O'Malley's 5-stage framework. We systematically searched the PubMed and CINAHL databases through December 2023 for studies of interventions for SDB after stroke that could be implemented by nursing staff. Data on intervention characteristics, stroke and SDB types, timing, and outcomes were extracted. RESULTS: From 2866 screened articles, 10 studies met inclusion criteria. From these, we identified 5 distinct interventions: positional therapy, oropharyngeal muscle exercises, physical exercise, compression devices, and education. As confirmed by polysomnography or home sleep testing, 9 studies targeted obstructive sleep apnea. CONCLUSION: This review provides the first analysis of nurse-implementable interventions for poststroke SDB. The identified interventions appear promising for improving SDB parameters, particularly when adapted for stroke-specific care. Future research on developing standardized protocols that integrate these interventions into comprehensive care pathways will enhance the role of nurses in the early detection and management of poststroke SDB....
