What if I told you it is possible to increase 6⃣ times the detection of cardioaortic thrombi in stroke patients with a simple tweak to your current workflow? 🤯🤯🤯 We would only need to screen 1⃣4⃣ patients to find 1⃣ thrombus! Curious? Read on! DAYLIGHT Trial

Retrospective study (N=129) that seems to indicate that 1. Being on antiplatelet therapy does not increase the risk of insertional EVD tract hemorrhage 2. Giving a platelet transfusion does not reduce this risk Overall bleed rate 30%, Sx bleeds 5% sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Analysis of #ATACH2 and #INTERACT2 suggests that getting the SBP to 130-150 mm Hg and KEEPING IT THERE (stability) matters for outcomes after #ICH, but in these RCTs, there was stability in < 30% of patients. Implementation science problem. Neurocritical Care Society rdcu.be/epCo4

Proud of University of Maryland Neurocritical Care alum Matt Jaffa who is giving the keynote at Maryland Neurology Residency 's Annual Weiner Neurology Update. Discussing important work in #NeuroRecovery clinics that was inspired by Melissa Motta .

Makes a lot of sense. It's not just the volume of hypodensity. The severity of hypodensity independently modifies thrombectomy treatment effect and likelihood of hemicraniectomy in large core infarct (data from #SELECT2). Stroke AHA/ASA ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

It is getting harder and harder to justify intensive BP lowering after thrombolysis or thrombectomy. In this secondary analysis of ENCHANTED (thrombolysis) no decreased edema for SBP 130-140 compared to < 180. Stroke AHA/ASA ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…
