The aim of this webinar is to understand the utility of transcranial Doppler studies compared with echocardiography in the screening evaluation of patients with a right-to-left shunt, most commonly associated with a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
This webinar highlights the recently published study that evaluated 100 patients who received a newly implemented robot-assisted transcranial doppler (rTCD/NovaGuide) with bubble injection. It was used to find right-to-left shunts (RLS) as a potential cause of stroke in young patients, as defined by age <65.
The study objectives included:
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.

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.

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.
