The Knock Out Stroke and Emergency Medical Services Virtual Symposium will 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 pre-hospital assessment tools to identify stroke and large vessel obstruction.
  • Provide updated information on stroke in the younger population.
  • Describe posterior stroke symptoms for earlier recognition of strokes.
  • Provide updated information on guidelines for intracranial hemorrhages: “Time is Brain in ICH too”.
  • Discuss retinal artery occlusion.
  • Discuss prognostication after cardiac arrest.

Who Should Attend

Hospitalists, Internal Medicine Physicians and APPs, Pharmacists, Medical Residents, Nurses, and other Healthcare Professionals.

Topics

  • Medium-vessel occlusion (MeVO)
  • Stroke in younger population: update and management
  • Prognostication after cardiac arrest (in and out of hospital arrest)
  • What does it mean? The difference between stroke screening tools: community health and community awareness
  • Stroke symptoms and the NIH stroke scale
  • Retinal artery occlusion
