Neurocritical care has evolved over the past twenty years in parallel with the growth of critical care medicine and the stunning developments in the fields of neurology and neurosurgery. Advances in imaging and a better understanding of the pathophysiology of neuronal injury have revolutionized the management of patients with acute stroke. Today the Neurological Intensive Care Unit is the very epicenter for acute stroke intervention and the care of complex, critically ill patients with neurological disease.

Neurocritical Care 2011: Across the Universe is designed to showcase this revolution.

For our 9th Annual Cleveland Neurocritical Care & Stroke Conference, we have gathered a distinguished group of world leaders to review the latest advances in the diagnosis and management of acute stroke. As in the past, this conference will have an innovative, informal, Rock and Roll-themed format so as to create an experience that is both educational and enjoyable. Our 4th Annual CWRU Critical Care Bioinformatics Workshop will focus on advances in Health Information Technology and ICU informatics. Our 3rd Annual CWRU TCD Ultrasound Workshop will provide a complete review of ultrasound principles, techniques, and interpretation. And finally, our 2nd Annual Cleveland Music and Medicine Symposium will explore the fascinating intersection of music and the brain and music and health.
