INTERVENSI HEAD ELEVATION 30 DERAJAT PADA PASIEN DENGAN CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT INTRACEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE Di Ruang Pattimura RSUD Kanjuruhan Kab. Malang

Background: Cerebrovascular Accident Intracerebral Hemorrhage or abbreviated as CVA ICH is a type of hemorrhagic stroke that causes bleeding in the intracerebral area which increases intracranial pressure (ICP) which results in increased brain mass and reduced perfusion function and disruption of blood flow to the brain. One of the interventions that can be carried out is providing a head elevation position of 30° which aims to increase blood supply to the brain so that it can reduce ICP. This Final Scientific Work by Nurses aims to describe the process of providing 30° head elevation intervention to patients with a medical diagnosis of CVA ICH.
Methods: The method used in preparing this Final Scientific Work for Nurses uses the case study research method with a non-probability sampling technique approach, namely purposive sampling. This research follows scientific methods in accordance with the principles of the nursing process including the process of assessment, data analysis, intervention, implementation and evaluation of nursing. The data collection process uses several methods, namely interviews, observation, tests and documentation.
Results: After providing nursing care for 4 days, the author raised the main nursing diagnosis, namely Risk of Ineffective Cerebral Perfusion characterized by head injury. The nursing intervention that have been provided is a head elevation position of 30° with the result that blood pressure decreased, the headache scale decreased and the level of consciousness stabilized
Discussion: The 30° head elevation position intervention makes the heart position lower than the head so that blood circulation from the head becomes easier and can reduce intracranial pressure because the fluid in the head cavity is reduced and blood flow in the brain becomes smooth and brain perfusion will increase
