This course covers the current best strategies and considerations for managing neurological emergencies in the Emergency Department, ICU, and Operating Room. It features an international faculty of experts and is based on competencies defined in Global Neuro’s curriculum.
The course content is delivered using multiple methods, including lectures, small group workshops and simulated case scenarios. Comprehensive lectures concentrate on the understanding of core material. The small group sessions deepen this, and enrich the discussion and learning.
After the course, the participants will be able to
- Perform an appropriate initial assessment of adult patients presenting with an acute CNS injury
- Choose the appropriate investigations (including neuroradiology) and interpret the result
- Provide appropriate guideline-based patient-centred care and clinical management
- Apply and interpret intra-cranial monitoring and advanced diagnostics (e.g. EEG)
- Manage common complications, such as bleeding, swelling, infection and hydrocephalus
