  Program Description
The Pediatric Neurosurgery Division of the Children’s Hospital of Michigan and the STARS support group are proud to present a symposium on Intracranial Pressure Control (ICP) and Treatment in Hydrocephalus. This two-day event promises to be highly technical, research oriented, and filled with provocative discussions from leading clinicians, biomedical engineers, and neuroscientists.

Accreditation
The Wayne State University School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians, and takes responsibility for the content, quality and scientific integrity of the CME activity.

The Wayne State University School of Medicine designates this educational activity for a maximum of 13 hours in category 1 credit towards the AMA Physician’s Recognition Award. Each physician should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity.

  

Objectives
After attending this offering, participants will be able to:

  • Increase their knowledge of the most current research on ICP in hydrocephalus, including the biomechanics and pathophysiology of raised ICP, imaging, transcutaneous sensing, and long-term monitoring
  • Understand the use and performance of programmable CSF drainage systems
  • Become familiar with shunt evaluations with infusion studies
  • Identify specific guidelines for the treatment of infantile and normal pressure hydrocephalus
  • Identify the roles of neurologists and other caregivers in the clinical management of ICP in hydrocephalus
