3D Stroke Anatomy and Assessment

This session will be presented in-person at the conference and livestreamed.
Speaker: Linda Littlejohns, MSN RN CNRN SCRN FAAN

A solid knowledge of vascular anatomy in 3D is the foundation for assessment and management of stroke patients. This session will demonstrate blood vessels and anatomical structures in the brain and brain stem using Anatomage 3D software, color-coded vessels, and case studies. Patient care, and the ability to assess and teach patients as they move from a stroke diagnosis to recovery expectations and rehab needs, will be enhanced as we travel through the brain in a dimension not available in a text book.

Member Fee: $150

Non-member Fee: $200
