COURSE DESCRIPTIONS:
May 7, 2026 - Pressure Matters: Mastering Vasoactive Infusions in Neurocritical Care Nursing
This session is designed to deepen the understanding of hemodynamic management in the acutely brain injured patient for the neurocritical care nurse. This presentation explores how targeted vasoactive strategies support cerebral perfusion, prevent secondary brain injury, and optimize patient outcomes.
May 21, 2026 - MRI Fundamentals and Brain MRI Interpretation for the Neurocritical Care APP
This session is designed to give a basic overview of MRI functions and interpretation of brain MRI for Neurocritical Care APPs. This Masterclass will feature concise didactic presentations as well as interactive case discussions, polling and panel review of cases.
May 28, 2026 - Mastering Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Evidence, Execution, and Evolving Treatment Strategies in Neurocritical Care
This session will provide an in-depth, interprofessional exploration of contemporary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) care, tailored for neurocritical care physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, and pharmacists. Faculty will review current evidence and guidelines, practical bedside management strategies, and systems-based approaches to delivering timely, coordinated ICH care across settings. Through case-based discussion and real-world implementation pearls, participants will examine evolving therapies and consider how best to integrate these advances into everyday neurocritical care practice.
June 4, 2026 - B-Mode and Transcranial Color Doppler: A Case-Based Approach
This session provides a focused overview of B-mode and transcranial color Doppler imaging of the brain. Participants will first briefly review basic ultrasound principles. Thereafter cases in which B-mode imaging will be presented highlighting practical image acquisition, vessel and anatomy identification, and interpretation of pathology relevant to bedside and neurocritical care use.
September 3, 2026 - Practical EEG Interpretation in Neurocritical Care: A Case-Based Masterclass for APPs
This interactive session will provide Advanced Practice Providers and bedside clinicians with a practical approach to EEG interpretation in the neurocritical care setting. Through focused didactic sessions and case-based learning, participants will review EEG fundamentals, recognize common normal and abnormal patterns, identify urgent findings requiring escalation of care, and apply EEG interpretation to real-world clinical decision-making.
September 17, 2026 - Nursing Management of the Patient with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
This course focuses on the essential role of the bedside nurse in caring for patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Participants will review pathophysiology and clinical presentation of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, and nursing interventions that promote patient safety and improve outcomes.
