Abstract

This study aim to guide nursing patients with acute ischemic stroke.This is a comparative study of two case studies in the critical phase, continuous care recovery phase, and the discharge planning phase. Data was collected using Gordon's 11^th health scheme of patient assessment to find patient problems, set nursing decisions, plan nursing practice, summarize, and evaluate nursing results.

            Results: In this study, the study compared two cases of acute ischemic stroke patients admitted to the stroke unit of Khon Kaen Hospital. Stroke fast track is both critically ill patients with a high-risk factor associated with acute ischemic stroke and respiratory failure. They use a ventilator in conjunction with treating any problems detected while undergoing treatment. From the study of two case studies in the care of acute ischemic stroke, nurses in life-threatening and severe crisis play essential roles with competencies that require specialized knowledge and skills to spot changes, evaluate, and solve problems to reduce complications as well as death. Their roles in promoting health in patients and their relatives are well prepared to face problems and risk factors and to solve problems that arise correctly during the disease. Complete rehabilitation of patients by a multidisciplinary team is essential so that patients and their relatives can manage themselves to prevent the occurrence of complications, growing disability, and the recurrence.
