Stroke in Adults

What this episode covers

<br /> Yes, PEM Currents is a Pediatric Emergency Medicine podcast, but during the COVID-19 pandemic we may be tasked with seeing patients outside of our area of expertise. Plus, there’s a lot we can learn from big people that we can extrapolate to children. I have partnered with <a href="https://www.popcornetwork.org/">POPCoRN, the Pediatric Overflow Planning Contingency Response Network</a> to deliver content that will benefit those of us who may have been asked to care for adults both in their native habitat, and in our pediatric facilities. Marie Pfarr, a Hospital Medicine physician from Cincinnati Children’s delivers some timely content on stroke in adults in this brief, focused episode.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> References<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Candelise L, Gattinoni M, Bersano A, et al.
