CT Angiography (CTA) Positive Imaging and Patient Treatment: CTA & CTP Neuroimaging in Acute Ischemic Stroke is presented by Edward Sloan, MD, MPH, FACEP
CTA and CTP in the Evaluation and Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients: Opportunities, Standards, and Special Considerations
Presented by Edward Sloan, MD, MPH, FACEP
What is the role of multi-modal CT testing in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke? How can the care of these stroke patients be optimized to improve patient outcomes?
Educational Objectives:
(1) Enhance understanding of pathophysiology of acute ischemic stroke.(2) Understand what are CTA and CTP and how they are performed.
(3) Know when CTA and CTP are indicated in the diagnosis of AIS patients, and how patient outcomes are influenced by this testing.
(4) Review AHA/ASA guidelines recs with respect to neuroimaging for AIS patients.
(5) Conclude the role of NCCT, CTA, CTP, and all neuroimaging for Emergency Department AIS patients.
(6) Make it possible to learn based on key clinical questions.
The Foundation for the Education and Research in Neurological Emergencies (FERNE) is an independent not-for-profit organization committed to the following principles:
1. Patients with neurologic emergencies deserve quality emergency care.
2. The emergency care for neurologic emergencies can be enhanced through quality scientific research.
3. Emergency medical care providers can provide optimal medical care for patients with neurological emergencies through participation in quality medical education that highlights state-of-the-art neurologic care.
