Activity Summary :
Nurses caring for children, whether in the emergency department, inpatient pediatric or the intensive-care unit, are likely to encounter a child who could experience an acute stroke-like event. Participants analyze a case study, describing chief complaint, differential diagnoses, hospital course, past medical history, family history, social history, review of systems, physical exam, vital signs and imaging of a patient. With given data, the facilitator discusses the diagnosis, differentiates between the different types of pediatric strokes, presents a review of the literature and facilitates a dialogue specific to an impression and plan for a child who presents with acute ischemic strokes. This educational session provides nurses with information specific to recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of pediatric strokes.
Objectives :
• Identify pediatric patients most at risk for strokes.
• Analyze the symptoms of pediatric strokes and distinguish between acute ischemic, hemorrhagic and cerebral sinovenous thrombus.
• Apply supportive, neuroprotective, anticoagulant and rehabilitative treatment to pediatric stroke patients in a time-sensitive manner.
