Overview

This pre-conference workshop will provide clinically-relevant updates in the rapidly moving area of neurocritical care. This year’s course will focus on disease-specific clinical updates, monitoring, advice for tough clinical situations, brain resuscitation, and a review of recent practice-changing neurocritical care publications.

This workshop will be delivered by international leaders in neurocritical care to ensure you receive high-quality updates that will impact your clinical practice. Our expert speakers will provide practical tips and relevant case examples that will make even the most challenging aspects of neurocritical care both clear and accessible. The workshop will put the latest research developments into clinical context to support your continued professional education and development needs.

New this year will be a “Pro-Con” debate to discuss recent clinical trial results and provide expert insight to help you make individualized evidence-based treatment decisions at the bedside. At the end of each session, there will also be time to have your questions answered by world-leading neurocritical care speakers. You’ll leave the day with updated clinical knowledge that will help you maintain and improve your daily practice, enhance patient confidence, and improve patient safety.

Highlights

  1. World-class experts who will present the latest guidelines and evidence, but also give you practical tips to immediately apply in your clinical practice

  2. Dedicated question time with the speakers — get advice from world-leading experts on how to manage a specific patient or tricky clinical situations.

Goals

  1. Enhance clinicians’ understanding of unique neurophysiology and cerebrovascular reactivity, which impacts clinical management and patient outcomes.

  2. Expand clinicians’ knowledge of how basic physiological care, e.g., pressure, oxygenation, CO2, and osmolality, impacts the brain and develop a context-specific approach to optimizing these factors after acute brain injury and during resuscitation.

  3. Acquire updated, evidence-based knowledge of recent clinical trials and guidelines for acutely brain-injured patients.

Target Audience

  1. Physicians who care for patients with neurological emergencies, acute stroke and brain hemorrhage, acute brain injury, coma and neurological disorders that require Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) evaluation and management.

  2. Medical providers from a broad array of disciplines including Intensive Care, Emergency Medicine, Neurology, Neurosurgery, Anesthesia, and Neuro-Intensive Care backgrounds are all encouraged to attend.

  3. Other healthcare providers such as PAs, APNs, EMS personnel, and allied health providers who care for patients with neurological emergencies, or patients in a Neuro ICU or ICU are also welcome.
