They will integrate recent guideline updates to reduce diagnostic complexity and enhance accuracy in clinical practice. Participants should be able to identify and critically evaluate at least two emerging treatment options for RLS, OSA, and Insomnia. They will develop personalized, evidence-based treatment plans that incorporate updated therapies and reorganized treatment pathways. Attendees will also learn to dispel common myths and misconceptions surrounding these disorders, improving patient education and adherence to care plans.
Brain Death: During this session participants will review the 2023 AAN/AAP/CNS/SCCM guidelines for determination of brain death/death by neurologic criteria and examine legal controversies related to determination of brain death/death by neurologic criteria in the context of current statutes on determination of death.
