Description

Dive into the intricacies of dizziness and vertigo assessment in the emergency department, including use of the HINTS examination to determine if symptoms have a peripheral or central cause. Through gripping case presentations, learn to swiftly distinguish between severe, potentially life-threatening causes, such as stroke, and benign conditions like BPPV. Elevate your clinical acumen and decision-making skills as we explore collaborative approaches, emphasizing timely interventions for critical cases and effective management strategies for more benign origins of dizziness.
