Increase in Rate of Utilization of Withdrawal of Care in Acute Ischemic Stroke in USA (P1.209)
Conclusions:We found a considerable increase in rate of withdrawal of care with aggressive treatment, which may be due to disease severity and/or patient/family preference. Prognostic models and clinical experience for severe stroke patients may be biased by frequent withdrawal of care, leading to errors in prognostication with significant consequences including premature withdrawal of care, suboptimal outcomes and higher risk of short-term mortalityStudy Supported by: NADisclosure: Dr. Adil has nothing to disclose.

Early Palliative Care Consultation Decreases Length of Stay in Severe Stroke Patients (P1.211)
Conclusions:Early PCC in severe stroke patients decreased hospital LOS by 3 days. This may be due to prompt clarification of goals of care and hastened discharge to hospice. Advanced age, poor pre-stroke functional status, and severe post-stroke deficits and disability warrant early PCC. In addition to decreasing LOS, further study is needed to determine whether early PCC also limits futile tests, procedures, and iatrogenic complications. Ultimately, timely identification of PCC candidates may produce higher satisfaction and decreased hospital costs.Disclosure: Dr. Schloss has nothing to disclose. Dr. Tversky has nothing t...

Do patients with thalamic pain have a specific somatosensory phenotype? (P1.222)
Conclusions:The somatosensory phenotype of the CPSP patients was characterized by reduced sensation for vibration and light touch on the affected side. These patients showed mechanical hyperalgesia and more pronounced hypoesthesia, but no temperature perception abnormalities, compared to the control patients. Our results do not support the view that a specific dysfunction of the spinothalamic tract is involved in the pathogenesis of thalamic CPSP.Disclosure: Dr. Papadopoulou has nothing to disclose.

Feasibility of Google Glass for Remote Resident Supervision and Evaluation (P1.039)
Conclusions:This pilot feasibility study is a first step in applying mobile telemedicine using GG for remote supervision and evaluation of neurology residents. Early experiences suggest good technical feasibility and patient acceptance. Primary outcome analysis of inter-rater agreement between in-person and remote (GG) evaluation of the NIHSS and NEX assessments is pending.Study Supported by: This study receives support from an American Academy of Neurology Education Grant, as well as from an American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology Faculty Fellowship Award.Disclosure: Dr. Carrera has nothing to disclose.

Non-Neurologist Self Assessment of Emergency Neurology Proficiency and Interest in a Novel Intensive Stroke and Neurocritical Care Training Program: The X-CHANGE Program (P1.045)
Conclusions:Hospital based non-neurology physicians have significant exposure to critically ill neurological patients. Many are not comfortable with important fundamental skills, such as the neurological exam. There is strong interest in a proposed intensive training program emphasizing bedside teaching. Based upon these results, we are developing a formal intensive training program for practicing non -neurology physicians called the "Cross-disciplinary Cerebrovascular HospitAl NeuroloGy Education" program.Disclosure: Dr. Yee has nothing to disclose.
