Evaluation. Diagnosis. Management. In Emergency, Outpatient, and Inpatient Settings

Organized by Harvard Medical School, Neurological Emergencies 2024 is a cutting-edge course that delivers the latest strategies, best practices, and practical approaches for the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of acute neurological emergencies in emergency, inpatient, and outpatient settings. Key course highlights include:

  • Rapid recognition and management of neurological emergencies to improve patient outcomes.
  • Updated diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for life-threatening conditions such as ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord compression, cauda equina syndrome, seizures, and coma.
  • Practical frameworks for evaluating common neurological symptoms, including headache, dizziness, back pain, limb weakness, and altered mental status.
  • Bedside diagnosis essentials: enhancing clinical neurological examinations and selecting appropriate imaging studies.
  • Advanced treatment strategies, including thrombolysis and endovascular therapies for stroke, management of intracranial hemorrhage, acute seizures, and traumatic neurological injuries.

* Date of original release: October 23-25, 2024

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Upon completion of the following activities, learners will be able to:

  • Perform bedside diagnostic and therapeutic maneuvers with the dizzy patient
  • Use the focused history and physical to determine which patients with headache or minor head injury require neuroimaging or further workup
  • Review history and physical examination “red flags” to avoid misdiagnosis of cord and cauda equina compression in patients presenting with back pain
  • Discuss how to rapidly evaluate patients with stroke symptoms for intravenous and intra-arterial revascularization therapy
