Neuro Webinar

Nearly 700,000 people will have a new or recurrent stroke this year in the US. Are you prepared to care for them? Treatment options abound for the stroke patient today; but she has to get to the hospital quickly in order to be a candidate for many therapies. Early and effective patient teaching is a must!

Early signs of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) are insidious and easily ignored or rationalized. It is important that you are able to rapidly identify increased ICP to assure proper treatment and avoid complications.

Many nurses have difficulty assessing and managing neuro patients. But you don’t have to struggle with neurological care; the concepts are complex but can be broken down into simple pieces. Your presenter, David W. Woodruff, MSN, RN, CNS, is an expert at making complex concepts understandable; and he guarantees that you will “get it” at the conclusion of this webinar!

In “How to Manage the Neuro Patient: Updates on Stroke Care and Managing Increased Intracranial Pressure” you will learn:

What’s new in the care of the stroke patient
Early detection assessment strategies
How and when to intervene to reduce complications of increased intracranial pressure

Have you ever been intimidated by neurological assessment? Maybe you assessed your patient as having slight weakness in his hand grasps and the next nurse assesses him with strong hand grasps. What did you do wrong?

Neurological assessment is subjective; so any two people are likely to come up with differing opinions about any one sign. But neurological assessment does not have to be difficult. In this webinar you will learn out how to use the 5-point Neuro Check to rapidly and accurately assess your patient’s status and find problems early.

In this web-based seminar (webinar) you will be able to see the presentation on your computer, listen to the speaker on your phone and interact by asking questions on the phone or online. Questions such as:

What amount of damage to the brain is caused by TIA?
What are the earliest signs of increased intracranial pressure?
How can you quickly assess neurological status without having to do a full neuro check?
And many more will be answered.
