Presentation
Neurocritical Care in Zambia: Unmet Needs and Opportunities for Capacity-Building
DescriptionDr. Prust will present on data collected from Zambia on the burden of critical illness among neurology inpatients at Zambia’s primary referral hospital, the availability and spectrum of ICU care, the key drivers of critical illness and in-hospital mortality, and the role of protocolized care for prevention and early-recognition of life-threatening complications, as well as decision-support tools for ICU triage. While these findings are specifically derived from Zambia, they highlight issues that arise commonly in low- and middle-income countries worldwide, and I’ll be sure to emphasize the generalizability to other global contexts.
