Gorelick, MD, MPH Faculty Edward C. Jauch, MD, MS COMPLIMENTARY REGISTRATION Seating is Limited #StrokeForumsCME This continuing education activity is provided by VINDICO medical education This activity is supported by an educational grant from Genentech, Inc.
OVERVIEW Clinicians continue to debate the appropriate use of tissue plasminogen activator (tpa) in patients following acute ischemic stroke (AIS). In this activity, leading specialists from neurology and emergency medicine will review the current guidelines and inclusion/exclusion criteria for the use of tpa, clinical trials for intravenous and intra-arterial tpa, endovascular procedures, and their personal experience in a highly interactive format including case presentations that allow attendees to manage patients along with our faculty. In addition, the multidisciplinary faculty will discuss coordinating stroke care between departments and how to implement telemedicine in stroke care. PURPOSE/LEARNING OBJECTIVES Upon successful completion of this educational activity, participants should be better able to: Utilize evidence-based inclusion and exclusion criteria when determining candidates for thrombolytic therapy in AIS. Examine strategies that improve the door-to-needle time in patients presenting to the emergency department with symptoms of AIS. Apply established guidelines, recommendations, and clinical study findings into practice, pertaining to the safe and effective use of thrombolysis in patients who present with AIS post-symptom onset. Assess the safety and efficacy of endovascular procedures versus intravenous tpa for use in early AIS. Examine the use of telemedicine within stroke systems of care and the importance of coordinating care within the transferring facilities to improve patient outcomes. TARGET AUDIENCE The intended audience for this activity is neurologists, emergency physicians, internal medicine physicians, emergency and critical care nurses, neurology nurse practitioners, neurology physician assistants, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with AIS.
