An utter disaster in Miami at the Copa America final. Just look at the faces. Listen to the panic. These terrifying scenes via @AztecaDeportes. There are many others.

5 minutes can improve patient care and all but eliminate the need for transfers for EEG. A new real-world case study by @askthebraindoc showed use of #CeribellEEG led to a 91% reduction in transfers for EEG in a community hospital @Inspira__Health bit.ly/3iMT7kk

Has MT made Decompressive Hemicraniectomy extinct? Not exactly, but it's good to know that the rate of thrombectomy patients who go on the need DC is only 1.6%! #NeuroTwitter #LVO #medtwitter #NoLVOLeftBehind sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

I’ve never experienced this much stress in my entire medical career — treating sick young #COVID19 patients here in #NYC is beyond difficult. The fear is palpable among us all on the frontlines... please stay at home — it means the world to us #SocialDistance

De Blasio on Feb 10th: “We want to encourage” NYers going out. "If you’re under 50 & you’re healthy, which is most NYers, there’s very little threat here. This disease, even if you were to get it, basically acts like a common cold or flu. And transmission is not that easy."

MISTIE III outcome measure: mRS 0-3 at 1 year in patients getting medical therapy alone versus medical therapy + minimally invasive catheter thrombolysis by a trained Neurosurgeon. Patients had to have an #ICH of at least 30mL to be included. #ISC19

ANNEXA-4: In a single-group trial, 352 patients with acute major bleeding while taking a factor Xa inhibitor were treated with andexanet. Andexanet markedly reduced anti–factor Xa activity, and 82% of the patients had excellent or good hemostatic efficacy at 12 hours. #ISC19

Med safety session by @uncrxemily at Pharmacotherapy Workshop: 1. 3% saline and pressors can be given peripherally. 2. Stop using the term "tPA" when referring to thrombolytics in AIS. 3. Optimize technology and your clinical pharmacist! #NCS2018 #NCSPharmacy @neurocritical
