Description

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke. New data in the past year has shown that use of CPAP in the acute stroke setting can improve short-term and long-term neurologic outcomes. Innovative strategies are therefore now being proposed to incorporate this potentially practice-altering finding. The aim of this session is to discuss the why, how, and when of diagnosing and treating OSA after acute ischemic stroke.

Learning Objective 1

Review the bidirectional relationship between acute ischemic stroke and OSA.

Learning Objective 2

Compare modes of diagnosing OSA in this population.
