BE FAST and aDAPT the Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke: Best Practices in Thrombolytic Therapy and Beyond

NOTE: This session is part of the Live Intensive Studies and Clinical Sessions packages. All attendees may attend these thought-provoking and highly educational sessions. However, if you are board-certified, you must purchase the package(s) for your specialty to receive the recertification assessment and claim the recertification credit.

Acute ischemic stroke is a medical emergency, and rapid recognition and early administration of key therapies are critical for improving outcomes and preventing recurrent events. Despite the widespread availability of thrombolytic therapy, few patients with acute ischemic stroke receive such treatment. Through the use of interactive patient cases, this session will provide attendees with best practices, and the associated challenges, barriers, successes, and results of the impact of such practices associated with these cases will be discussed, empowering them to investigate current gaps and identify potential areas of implementation in their own practice setting. A state-of-the-art literature review will be provided, with an emphasis on both the possibilities associated with new discoveries in stroke care and the limitations associated with current implementation in clinical practice.

This activity is approved for Board-Certified Emergency Medicine Pharmacist (BCEMP) recertification credit.
