Author: Joseph P. Hughes, RVT, RVS

Objective:
The objective of this course is to have you identify the causes of and circumstances surrounding the onset of subarachnoid hemorrhage and vasospasm (VSP), identify the clinical outcomes following VSP based on physiologic conditions noted by the transcranial Doppler (TCD) examination, the grade of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and the therapies utilized, differentiate between VSP and hyperemic states, establish basic TCD protocols for VSP monitoring and identify the physiologic signs of VSP resolution and clinical outcomes.


A 10 question exam and evaluation form completes the course.
