001 - Stroke - Time is Brain

Simulation Experts Podcast

Trey talks with Scott Bartholomew, a Clinical Education Expert, about how he realistically portrays a patient suffering from various types of stroke during MSC’s Mock Code Stroke simulation. During the simulation, healthcare professionals evaluate Scott to diagnose what type of Stroke he is suffering from and how best to treat him. (They also pinch and poke him a lot, but he never seems to break character.) Later, Trey and Scott discuss a recent Stroke training event in Prague and how simulators can be just about anything, even a piece of fruit. The MSC Mock Code Stoke simulation is focused on stroke systems of care, adherence to evidence-based guidelines, strategies to decrease door-to-reperfusion times, improving functional outcomes, patient criteria for mechanical thrombectomy, and team communication.
