Neuroanatomy and Assessment for Stroke

Presented October 13, 2021

This is Stroke 101. In order to understand and properly deploy acute stroke treatment, the clinician must understand how to properly assess stroke symptoms and the pathology behind those symptoms. We will review neuroanatomy, stroke assessment tools, and then apply them both to acute stroke treatment.
Objectives:
--Describe the neuroanatomy essential for understanding stroke pathology.
--Discuss the most appropriate stroke assessment tools and how they relate to neuroanatomy.
--Explain how stroke assessment tools are used to guide acute stroke treatment.
