Program Title and Description
This session focuses on: a) hyperacute ischemic stroke patient including assessing, intervening with thrombolytics, and managing the critical phase after admission; b) acute ischemic stroke patient admitted to a progressive care stroke unit; and c) hemorrhagic stroke patients including critical interventions in the ED, OR, and ICU, and evidenced based protocols to reduce death/disability associated with this potentially devastating condition. ICU nurses must be familiar with the national standards for stroke centers devised by the American Stroke Association, evidenced based protocols, and the continuum of care after the patient leaves the ICU including the latest disease specific indicators from JCAHO.
