The 2020 – 2021 COVID pandemic has led to multiple unexpected outcomes for providers and medical staff on the frontlines of treatment. In addition to risk and worry over infectious exposure, staff and providers have also had to deal with high census, increased critical care bed usage, the steep learning curve of treatment for a novel illness, as well as novel stressors in their personal lives during this time. Studies report epidemic proportions of provider and staff burnout, leading to negative mental health outcomes, turnover, poor morale, and in some instances, a desire for staff and p

Evidence has shown that the benefits of IV tPA and thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke are time-dependent. Therefore, AHA guidelines have made certain recommendations regarding door-to-needle and door-to-groin puncture time. Despite this, the majority of acute ischemic patients who receive tPA and thrombectomy are not treated within this time. Stroke quality programs have been shown to improve doo-to-needle and door-to-groin puncture time, thus improving outcomes in the care of acute ischemic stroke. This program will discuss best practices in acute stroke care to assist healthcare pr

Intravenous thrombolytics is the mainstay of acute therapy in ischemic stroke. While alteplase has been FDA-approved for this indication since the 1990s, Tenecteplase has recently gained traction for usage in acute ischemic stroke treatment as well. This lecture summarizes the existing evidence and practical considerations for use of Tenecteplase in stroke therapy.

There is a high rate of recurrent stroke after an ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack. Identification and early management of modifiable risk factors, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, cardiac disease, behavioral interventions such as diet, physical activity, and smoking cessation have been shown to be effective in secondary stroke prevention. An interdisciplinary approach toward aggressive management of these risk factors can be effective to prevent stroke in patients. This activity addresses the treatment approach and discusses secondary stroke prevention.

Thrombolytics options have grown from just alteplase to include tenecteplase which some centers have adopted while others haven't. While both medications are similar, there is growing evidence that there are quite a few differences in administration, monitoring, and indications for medication use. This new introduction has fractured practice habits between different providers and caused growing uncertainty about how to utilize these medications to the best of their abilities.
