Aura: Treatment
(In a Page: Signs and Symptoms)

  • Migraine
    –Avoid triggers (e.g., alcohol, stress, fatigue)
    –NSAIDs and/or acetaminophen
    –5-HT1 agonists (e.g., sumatriptan) are useful during the
    headache phase and ergotamines (e.g., dihydroergotamine) are effective for status migraines; however, neither are effective to relieve aura
  • Epilepsy
    –Status epilepticus: Stabilize patient and administer IV benzodiazepines and fosphenytoin
    –Antiepileptics if risk for recurrent seizures: Phenytoin, carbamazepine, or valproate for generalized or partial seizures; ethosuximide or valproate for absence seizures; lamotrigine or valproate for mixed seizures

Delirium: Treatment
(In a Page: Signs and Symptoms)

  • Delirium is usually reversible with correction of the underlying cause
    –Discontinue possible contributing medications
    –Treat infection if present
    –Correct metabolic or electrolyte abnormalities
  • Pharmacologic therapy
    –Antipsychotics (e.g., haloperidol) for hallucinations, delusions, or illusions

Aura: Emergency interventions
(Handbook of Signs & Symptoms (Third Edition))

When an aura rapidly progresses to the ictal phase of a seizure, quickly evaluate the seizure and be alert for life-threatening complications such as apnea. When an aura heralds a classic migraine, make the patient as comfortable as possible. Place him in a dark, quiet room and administer drugs to prevent the headache, if necessary.

Level of consciousness, decreased: Emergency interventions
(Handbook of Signs & Symptoms (Third Edition))

After evaluating the patient’s airway, breathing, and circulation, use the Glasgow Coma Scale to quickly determine his LOC and to obtain baseline data. (See Glasgow Coma Scale.) If the patient’s score is 13 or less, emergency surgery may be necessary. Insert an artificial airway, elevate the head of the bed 30 degrees and, if spinal cord injury has been ruled out, turn the patient’s head to the side. Prepare to suction the patient if necessary. You may need to hyperventilate him to reduce carbon dioxide levels and decrease intracranial pressure (ICP). Then determine the rate, rhythm, and depth of spontaneous respirations. Support his breathing with a handheld resuscitation bag, if necessary. If the patient’s Glasgow Coma Scale score is 7 or less, intubation and resuscitation may be necessary.

Continue to monitor the patient’s vital signs, being alert for signs of increasing ICP, such as bradycardia and a widening pulse pressure. When his airway, breathing, and circulation are stabilized, perform a neurologic examination.

Syncope: Emergency interventions
(Handbook of Signs & Symptoms (Third Edition))

If you see a patient faint, ensure a patent airway and the patient’s safety, and take his vital signs. Then place the patient in a supine position, elevate his legs, and loosen tight clothing. Be alert for tachycardia, bradycardia, or an irregular pulse. Meanwhile, place him on a cardiac monitor to detect arrhythmias. If an arrhythmia appears, give oxygen and insert an I.V. line for medications or fluids. Be ready to begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Cardioversion, defibrillation, or insertion of a temporary pacemaker may be required.

Dizziness: Emergency interventions
(Professional Guide to Signs & Symptoms (Fifth Edition))

If the patient complains of dizziness, first ensure his safety by preventing falls, and then determine the severity and onset of the dizziness. Ask the patient to describe it. Is it associated with headache or blurred vision? Next, take the patient’s blood pressure while he’s lying, sitting, and standing to check for orthostatic hypotension. Ask about a history of high blood pressure. Determine if the patient is at risk for hypoglycemia. Tell the patient to lie down, and recheck his vital signs every 15 minutes. Start an I.V. line, and prepare to administer medications as ordered.

Dizziness: Nursing considerations
(Alarming Signs and Symptoms: Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice Series)

Prepare the patient for diagnostic tests, such as blood studies, arteriography, computed tomography scan, electroencephalograph, magnetic resonance imaging, and tilt-table studies.

Patient teaching

Teach the patient ways to control dizziness. If he’s hyperventilating, have him breathe and rebreathe into his cupped hands or a paper bag. If he experiences dizziness in an upright position, tell him to lie down and rest and then to rise slowly. Advise the patient with carotid sinus hypersensitivity to avoid wearing garments that fit tightly at the neck. Instruct the patient who risks a TIA from vertebrobasilar insufficiency to turn his body instead of sharply turning his head to one side.

Level of consciousness, decreased: Nursing considerations
(Alarming Signs and Symptoms: Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice Series)

Reassess the patient’s LOC and neurologic status at least hourly. Carefully monitor ICP and intake and output. Ensure airway patency and proper nutrition. Take precautions to help ensure the patient’s safety. Keep him on bed rest with the side rails up and maintain seizure precautions. Keep emergency resuscitation equipment at the patient’s bedside. Prepare the patient for a computed tomography scan of the head, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, EEG, and lumbar puncture. Maintain an elevation of the head of the bed to at least 30 degrees. Don’t administer an opioid or sedative because either may further decrease the patient’s LOC and hinder an accurate, meaningful neurologic examination. Apply restraints only if necessary because their use may increase his agitation and confusion. Talk to the patient even if he appears comatose; your voice may help reorient him to reality.

Patient teaching

Explain the treatments and procedures the patient needs. Teach safety and seizure precautions. Provide referrals to sources of support. Discuss quality of life issues with the patient and his family, as indicated.

Syncope: Nursing considerations
(Alarming Signs and Symptoms: Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice Series)

Continue to monitor the patient’s vital signs closely. Prepare the patient for an electrocardiogram, Holter monitoring, and carotid duplex, carotid Doppler, and electrophysiology studies.

Patient teaching

Advise the patient to pace his activities, to rise slowly from a recumbent position, to avoid standing still for a prolonged time, and to sit or lie down as soon as he feels faint.
