Chicago, Illinois, USA
OVERVIEW
The 2018 Northwestern Medicine Comprehensive Stroke and Cerebrovascular Conference is organized by Northwestern Medicine and will be held on Oct 13, 2018 at Hyatt Centric Chicago Magnificent Mile, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is all healthcare providers managing stroke patients, including those in the emergency department, cardiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists, advanced care providers, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, social workers and allied health professionals. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 7.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit.
Course Description:
Patient data and referral patterns tell us community practitioners may be unaware of the recent advances in the diagnosis, treatment and management of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients. It can be difficult for the busy practitioner to take time away from their practice to learn what is new, including the recent changes in the guidelines in the management of acute ischemic stroke, recently published clinical trials and the new criteria for imaging.
Accreditation Statement:
The Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Course Objectives:
• Outline the importance of rehabilitation intervention for early recovery of stroke patients
• Discuss the causes and management of cardiac causes of stroke to include both medical and interventional options and current trials
• Review current state-of-the-art endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke and discuss various clinical trials in endovascular management.
• Discuss the role of nurses in the acute intervention, management and care of stroke patients.
• Examine the role of frontline neuroradiology imaging and functional imaging in acute stroke and paradigm in triaging patients for acute intervention.
• Review the literature and discuss endovascular and surgical options for revascularization.
• Discuss and review criteria for both surgical and endovascular options for patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysm
• Discuss cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage and management of ruptured cerebral aneurysm.
• Discuss the role of a neurointerventionist in the prevention of complications related to acute stroke and present current guidelines.
