Stroke Overview & Update: Two-Part Series"},"content":{"rendered":"

Objectives of Part A: Types of Strokes & Diagnostic Tools<\/strong>
\n1. Identify types of Strokes: hemorrhagic, ischemic and TIA’s.
\n2. Review functional neuroanatomy related to the arterial blood supply to the brain and brainstem.
\n3. Identify the difference between large artery strokes and small tributary strokes.
\n4. Identify the functional neuroanatomy and arterial blood supply and how it is correlated with the NIHSS (NIH Stroke Scale).
\n5. Identify the clinical information obtained from CT scans and MRI’s.<\/p>\n

Objectives of Part B: Risk Factors, Treatment, & Complications<\/strong>
\n1.Identify the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors correlated with the treatment and prevention of the modifiable risk factors for both hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes.
\n2. Identify the classic clinical presentation for both hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes.
\n3. Identify acute emergency treatment for hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes.
\n4. Discuss mechanical thrombectomy and tissue plasminogen activators.
\n5. Discuss blood pressure maintenance in hemorrhagic vs ischemic strokes.
\n6. Discuss blood glucose management; management of atrial fibrillation;\u00a0 and assessment of swallowing ability.<\/p>\n

Description:
\n<\/b>This webinar discusses the latest information on stroke diagnosis and treatment. The webinar will commence with a review of neuroanatomy and the blood supply to the brain and spinal cord. Barb will then cover a comprehensive overview of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes as well as the treatment and prevention of the identified risk factors. Barb will differentiate between hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes as well as the differences between thrombotic and embolic phenomenon. Barb will focus on the classic clinical presentations for both hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes based on specific arteries involved. Barb will also discuss the acute neuro exam for the patient presenting with possible stroke symptoms using the NIH Stroke Scale. Acute emergency treatment for hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes will be discussed.
