Kluver Symposium Series: Intraventricular Hemorrhage, The Worst Type of Hemorrhagic Stroke

Chicago, IL US
May 25, 2016

This activity will disseminate knowledge about expected outcomes of IVH, the most severe form of stroke, with current standards of care and educate when and how best to use EVD thrombolysis as a tool to improve outcomes of IVH. It will discuss case examples highlighting knowledge gained, practical questions, and remaining controversies. Additionally, the course will review the recently reported results of the CLEAR III trial. This information will help attendees provide improved care for patients who suffer from intraventricular hemorrhages.

  • Define classification and grading of hemorrhagic strokes with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH);
  • State the current evidence based practice guidelines for management of IVH;
  • Describe results of CLEAR III Trial and the impact of EVD thrombolysis on mortality and functional recovery;
  • Recall results of the CLEAR III Trial, and what subgroups of patients are most likely to benefit, and protocol steps aimed at enhancing benefit and mitigating risks of EVD thrombolysis;
