Description
Advances in diagnosis, treatment and secondary prevention continue to evolve in stroke and cerebrovascular disease. The window for administration of intravenous Alteplase (tPA) has expanded to include patients eligible up to 4.5 hours from onset of symptoms, almost doubling the opportunity for treatment. The urgency for treating patients who have had one or more transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) is increasing, as their relevance in predicting stroke becomes clearer.
Health care providers need to stay abreast of the medical, interventional and surgical management options, as well as the expanding cadre of triage, test, and evaluation techniques and technologies available to calculate the risks and benefits of each option for each patient.
This course provides practical, applicable updates on the state of diagnosis and treatment for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. There are breakout sessions for EMS personnel, nurses and physicians.
Target Audience
Neurologists, emergency medicine physicians, neurosurgeons, internal medicine and primary care physicians, nurses, physician assistants, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, physical therapists and occupational therapists.
Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant will be able to do the following:
- Discuss optimal practices for pre-hospital and emergency department triage of acute stroke patients.
- Examine the role of the 4.5 hour time window of tPA utilization.
- Apply expanded diagnostic evaluation criteria in determining tPA and/or interventional course of treatment to patients presenting with acute stroke symptoms.
- Discuss current clinical understanding of treatment regimen for atrial fibrillation.
- Explain and incorporate Joint Commission Primary Stroke Center “performance measures” as applied in hospital continuum of care.
- Discuss current medical and technological options for diagnosis, treatment and secondary prevention of venous thromboembolism.
- Incorporate current management criteria for TIAs, ischemic, and hemorrhagic stroke.
- Relate and utilize information on performance measures and systems approach to care of acute stroke patients.
- Describe the impact of applying performance measures and systems in secondary prevention of stroke.
