Activity Summary

Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes

2022 marks newly updated guidance from the Neurocritical Care Society and the American Heart/Stroke Association on managing hemorrhagic stroke/intracerebral hemorrhage and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Deciphering the guidelines allows clinical nurses to apply the recommended interventions to clinical practice to improve outcomes. This presentation focuses on hemorrhagic stroke and the intricacies of managing two very different pathologies.

Objectives

  • Identify the EBP recommendations from the NCS and AHA/ASA CG on ICH and aSAH.
  • Translate the guidelines on ICH/aSAH to ICU clinical practice related to assessment and management of patients with stroke.
  • Apply recommendations on managing ICH/aSAH to actual case studies of stroke patients.
