Time is Brain: A Quality Improvement Project to Improve Stroke Outcomes by Educating EMS. (P4.308)
Conclusions: Acute stroke management requires a multidisciplinary team effort involving the EMS and stroke team. Contacting the family is essential to review contraindications in aphasic patients. Educating EMS about acute stroke management can help prevent delays in administrating IV rtPA. At our center we were able to decrease the number of delays by involving and educating the EMS.Disclosure: Dr. Singh has nothing to disclose. Dr. Sofat has nothing to disclose.

Reducing Door-To-Needle Times for Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke: Quality Improvement Initiative at a High Volume Comprehensive Stroke Center (P4.309)
CONCLUSION: With multiple institution specific interventions it is possible to improve the DTN time even at a high volume non-academic center. One of the key component appears to be the in-house presence of a stroke neurologist 24hours /7days a week.Disclosure: Dr. Sapkota has nothing to disclose. Dr. Sirelkhatim has nothing to disclose.

Cerebral Blood Flow in TIA Patients Presenting Acutely: Implications for Stroke Prevention in Qatar (P2.305)
CONCLUSIONS: This study has just commenced in Qatar and the UK. The outcomes will enable us to determine whether testing for CBF and auto-regulation in Stroke/TIA clinics will help in identifying a subgroup of TIA patients who are at grave risk of developing microvascular and macrovascular diseases, including stroke.

Transient ischemic attacks in post-menopausal women with history of migraines have lower risk for subsequent ischemic strokes (P2.306)
CONCLUSIONS: The risk of ischemic stroke is lower following TIA in women with migraine history (compared with those without migraine) suggesting potentially different pathophysiology in such women.Disclosure: Dr. Rahman has nothing to disclose.

Is CT Scan in Patients with Suspected TIA Necessary: A quality improvement initiative (P2.307)
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with suspected TIA and low risk for intracranial hemorrhage could undergo MRI rather than CT plus MRI. This practice would prevent unnecessary radiation dose from CT, decrease cost, and increase availability of the CT scanner for other patients in the ED.Disclosure: Dr. Baghshomali has nothing to disclose.

Epidemiology of Ischemic Strokes and Transient Ischemic Attacks in the Oldest Old (P2.308)
Conclusion: Most patients 85-years or older, in our study, were women. More than half of the strokes were embolic. A substantial number of patients received thrombolysis and almost a third of patients were discharged to acute rehabilitation. Older patients benefit from aggressive stroke management and have potential for meaningful recovery. Age should not be a major limiting factor in the treatment of stroke in this population.Disclosure: Dr. Garcia Santibanez has nothing to disclose. Dr. Skliut has nothing to disclose.

Nationwide Patterns of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Utilization among Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack Patients in the Emergency Department (P2.309)
CONCLUSIONS: Nationwide patterns of MRI utilization among ischemic stroke and TIA patients demonstrate variations given an urban vs. rural setting and the patient’s triage status. These results characterize factors associated with MRI use in the ED and may guide efforts in better understanding MRI use in EDs among ischemic stroke and TIA patients on a nationwide basis.Disclosure: Dr. Ng has nothing to disclose.

New Windows into the Brain: Technological Advances in Detecting and Treating Neurological Disorders (P4.185)
CONCLUSIONS • Visualase is a new MRI-guided laser technology often used to treat hard-to-reach and otherwise inoperable brain and spine tumors. The procedure can be performed while a patient is awake and requires only one stitch to close the surgical site. The laser thermal ablation technique destroys lesions and also has proven to be effective for epilepsy patients. • The minimally invasive NICO BrainPath - detailed fiber-tracking combined with precise image-guidance - effectively treats subcortical and deep brain lesions as never before. The procedure is part of the Six Pillar Approach. The presenter is one of ...

Overcoming Framing Bias in Stroke Neurologists' Assessments of the Minimally Clinically Important Difference for Novel Acute Ischemic Stroke Therapies (P4.187)
CONCLUSIONS: When assessed with framing based on clinical practice rather than convenience, vascular neurologists indicated the MCID for a safe agent to be worthwhile to use in acute ischemic stroke is about 1[percnt]. Drug and device agencies should consider this value to be the expert opinion MCID for acute ischemic stroke treatments when making regulatory decisions.Disclosure: Dr. Cranston has nothing to disclose.

How Well Do Neurology Residents Recognize Neurological Illness? An Analysis of the Close the Loop Resident Clinical Acumen Assessment Project (P4.204)
CONCLUSIONS: This educational initiative further examines diagnostic errors made by neurology residents. When inaccurate, residents tended to over-interpret cases as neurological, and a large percentage of total errors were within the sub-categories of neurological disease. Psychiatric illness presented a particular diagnostic challenge and was misclassified as a wide range of neurological disorders.Disclosure: Dr. Brandstadter has nothing to disclose.
