| Target Audience | Trauma surgeons, neurosurgeons, neurointensivists, military physicians, advanced practice nurses, and intensive care unit nurses are welcome to attend. |
| Description | This is a two-day conference designed to discuss innovative strategies for the care of neurological emergencies and neurocritical care in the ICU of the future. This conference will focus on controversies in neurocritical care including discussions on neurocritical care and nursing strategies in the neuro-ICU.
There are many challenges to the delivery of neurointensive care in the emerging future. Intensive care will occupy over half of acute care hospital beds within the next decade and will be the focus of intense pressure to improve care while limiting cost. The design of neuroscience centers of excellence will also be addressed. Pertinent information technology, advanced imaging techniques, and outcomes-based research will be increasingly used to achieve these goals. |
| Objectives | At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
* Diagnose and treat traumatic brain injury including understanding novel concepts about blast injury.
* Diagnose and treat neurotrauma using telemedicine.
* Diagnose and treat cardiac arrest.
* Learn about general trauma care for the shock patient and the interplay between brain injury and multiple trauma.
* Gain a working practical knowledge of advanced brain monitoring in the coma patient.
* Learn and be able to implement therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest.
* Have practical knowledge of neurotrauma via simulation training. |
