2nd Annual Stroke and Neurocritical Care Symposium: Advanced Management for Neurological and Neurosurgical Emergencies and Critical Care: Neuro-Emergencies During the Pandemic

Friday, November 6, 2020, 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM

We are no longer accepting registrations for this activity.

The 2nd Annual Stroke and Neurocritical Care Symposium (SNCC) is designed to provide physicians and allied healthcare professionals with a comprehensive overview on the cutting-edge management for cerebrovascular diseases and neurocritical care including useful information on recognition and treatment of neurological emergencies that are related to COVID-19.  Topics to be covered include neurovascular surgery, cerebrovascular emergencies and neurocritical care.  In addition, medical crossfire debates, consisting of experts in the field, will provide spirited discussions and debates on a particular clinical issue.

Course Directors’ Message
Welcome to our second annual CME symposium on Stroke and Neurocritical Care (SNCC): Advanced Management of Neurological and Neurosurgical Emergencies and Critical Care. This year has been extremely challenging for healthcare providers due to the pandemic. The SNCC  symposium this year will be conducted virtually, taking place over the course of one day, dedicated to cutting-edge medicine and addressing various types of vascular complications that are associated with COVID-19.

We will hear the opinions of experts on important topics, providing a paucity of data from randomized controlled trials. Although the field has brought advances toward improving outcomes for patients who are neurocritically ill, in many instances, especially functional outcomes, remain poor. Emphasis will be on improving care for the primary neurocritical condition, better recognition, prevention, and correction of medical complications and secondary brain injury. Examination of health care delivery, management strategies and identification of individual thresholds by means of advanced technology will all play important roles. Neurocritical care and research is a multidisciplinary and multiprofessional effort, and neurointensivists are tasked to lead this effort to further advance their field.

Please join us for this exciting second annual program on Stroke and Neurocritical Care!
