Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Examine the physiopathology of traumatic brain
injury, its effects on the cerebral circulation and metabolism and review
recent advances in treatment modalities and future therapies.
- Determine targets for temperature modulation and
enumerate the indications for hypothermia and normothermia in the setting of
brain injury.
- Identify the indications for hypothermia and
analyze pathophysiologic concepts related to its use after cardiac arrest and
the reperfusion injury, and discuss data from recent studies on use of
hypothermia post cardiac arrest.
- Discuss data from recent studies on use of
hypothermia post cardiac arrest.
- Demonstrate the applicability and utility of
Intracranial Pressure Monitoring in the ICU patient.
- Identify the physiopathology of spinal cord
injury and review recent advances in treatment modalities and future therapies.
- Define brain death and how it applies in the
critical care setting of brain injury.
- Discuss the pathogenesis and management issues related
to life-threatening CNS infections.
- Discuss peri-operative management in the
Neurocritical Care setting.
- Identify the major neurologic and medical
complications that contribute to morbidity and mortality and apply
evidence-based strategies for decreasing the incidence and impact following
subarachnoid hemorrhage.
- Recognize the benefits of adopting new
operational models including implementing a group approach in order to improve
patient outcomes and maximize the utilization of resources.
- Assess their individual practices in light of
the information and discussions during the course, and identify specific
strategies to implement as part of a continuing improvement process for their
practices within the field of Neurocritical Care.
