Marcus Neuroscience Institute EMS Knock Out Stroke Symposium 5.0

August 29, 2024
 

Virtual Symposium | Zoom | 7.5 Cat. 1
Thursday, August 29, 2024 | 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

The Marcus Neuroscience Institute EMS Knock Out Stroke Symposium is designed to provide attendees with relevant information regarding new developments in and approaches to the management of stroke events. Clinicians will benefit from in-depth reviews of the latest science and cutting-edge advances in the treatment of venous strokes, embolization with subdural hematomas, seizures, aphasia and thrombectomies. Please join us for this free full-day symposium.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this symposium, participants should be better able to:

  • Discuss the use of a stroke screening tool and a large vessel obstruction (LVO) screening tool in the pre-hospital setting.
  • Describe posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in patients experiencing a hypertensive crisis.
  • Identify risk factors and discuss the physiology of central venous thrombosis and stroke.
  • Describe how the utilization of family cards handed to family members of suspected stroke facilitates the process and allows for faster door-to-needle times.
  • Describe some unusual presentations of acute stroke and discuss how to recognize the stroke.
  • Compare and contrast vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s dementia following a stroke.
  • Discuss the process of embolization of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) in patients with subdural hematomas (SDH).
  • Identify advances of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare and discuss the utilization of AI in strokes and seizures.
  • Discuss the presentation of seizures in patients with stroke-like symptoms, distinguishing them from a stroke mimic or a complication of a stroke.
  • Identify the different types of aphasia and describe the location of the stroke.
  • Discuss the new research on maintaining the head of the bed flat to improve clinical presentation in patients with LVO.

Who Should Attend

Primary care physicians, family physicians, general internists, emergency medicine physicians, cardiologists, hospitalists, advanced practice providers, nurses, occupational therapists, pharmacists and techs, Lab personnel, emergency medical technicians, dietitians and respiratory therapists.
