Description:
According to the Missed Ischemic Stroke Diagnosis in the Emergency Department by Emergency Medicine and Neurology Services published in 2016. “The failure to recognize an ischemic stroke in the emergency department is a missed opportunity for acute interventions and for prompt treatment with secondary prevention therapy. Atypical symptoms associated with posterior circulation strokes lead to misdiagnoses. This was true at both an academic center and a large community hospital.”
Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Review factors leading to missed diagnoses of ischemic stroke in the acute setting
- Discuss cases with less common stroke presentations
- Identify key clinical elements and tools to aid in diagnosis
