Webinars

Transcranial Doppler is an extremely effective tool for intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring that can result in better patient outcomes and decreased length of stay. In this webinar, you will learn the recently updated guidelines from the American Society of Neurophysiologic Monitoring and American Society of Neuroimaging for the use of TCD in the surgical and intensive care settings. Guidelines include:

• The objectives of TCD monitoring
• The roles and responsibilities of the neurosonographer during monitoring
• Instrumentation parameters
• Safety considerations
• Rationale for the use of automated TCD
• Case studies and recommendations

• Understand the clinical work up for PFO
• Review the latest guidelines and discuss the effectiveness of PFO closure
• Understand the pitfalls of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and the implications of the BUBL clinical trial results
• Discuss the integration of anatomical criteria in treatment decisions

Transcranial Doppler is a critical part of the diagnostic workup for a wide range of diseases affecting cerebral blood flow, including stroke. In this webinar you will learn the techniques to interpret and analyze TCD waveforms to effectively assess and treat patients with suspected neurological conditions.

‍Duration: 1 hour

Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is an extremely powerful tool that offers an insight into the complexity of the severely damaged brain. In this presentation, we will review established and new applications of TCD in the intensive care unit.

‍Duration: 1 hour

• Review current methodology for the bubble exam to further aid in diagnosing a right-to left shunt
• Master the techniques required to perform accurate PFO bubble exam through a live demonstration
• See the NovaSignal Platform in action

‍Duration: 30 minutes

• Be among the first to hear about the groundbreaking results from the BUBL trial. The abstract was recently accepted by the International Stroke Conference 2022.
• Learn how TCD compares to the current standard of care diagnostic techniques including TTE and TEE in detecting PFO using the bubble technique.
• Discover how to better assess the underlying cause of a stroke, allowing you to make more informed decisions and ultimately better patient management and care.‍
