1st Annual Chicago Neurotrauma Symposium: Penetrating Brain Injury: Toward a New Paradigm
Chicago, IL US
September 29, 2023 to September 30, 2023
Join us in shaping the future of brain trauma management!
This symposium introduces a new paradigm to the multidisciplinary clinical approach, paving the way for innovation in patient care. By collaborating on high-yield clinical questions, we aim to make groundbreaking discoveries that will advance the field of brain trauma. Let's work together to improve the lives of patients with brain injuries.
Target Audience
This activity is designed for a multidisciplinary cohort of clinicians, clinical research methodologists, and funding agency representatives committed to filling the gaps in firearm-inflicted brain injury (FIBI) management.
Learning Objectives
After this activity, participants will be able to:
- Identify knowledge gaps and areas for further research through a comprehensive review of the current clinical literature on FIBI;
- Describe the multidisciplinary approach required for the acute resuscitation of individuals affected by FIBI;
- Discuss the most effective research approaches for studying FIBI;
- Compare effectiveness studies versus randomized controlled trials for FIBI treatment;
- Determine high-yield clinical questions that require further investigation that can create research consortiums to address them;
- Evaluate the available acute neurosurgical and neurocritical care options to optimize neurological outcomes for FIBI patients.
