CANN - 55th Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions

Neuroscience nurses practice in diverse settings and in many of these settings encounter individuals who are at risk for, or experience seizures and epilepsy associated with their disease/ disorder. This 90-minute case-based, interactive workshop will provide an update on, and nursing considerations for, some common clinical conditions neuroscience nurses encounter that are associated with seizures/epilepsy.

Topics will include post-stroke epilepsy, tumour-related epilepsy, post-traumatic seizures/epilepsy, and status epilepticus. A case will be presented for each of these clinical scenarios; update on relevant best practices and literature will be reviewed; the impact on the individual, and nursing considerations will be incorporated. Interactive contribution/feedback from participants will be integrated throughout the session.
