Topics in neurocritical care and emergency neurology are rapidly evolving. Grounded in mastery of the fundamental aspects of critical care, this session explores how best practices are changing in the era of mechanical thrombectomy, minimally invasive clot evacuation, and changes in our understanding of the physiology and treatment of status. The dynamic pairing of a physician and pharmacist for each presentation allows for the exploration of bedside management and practical guidance for triage, appropriate dosing, and recognition of common pitfalls in the ever-increasing armamentarium of neuropharmacology.
