Blood pressure management in acute stroke is a delicate balancing act, where both overcorrection and undertreatment can adversely affect neurological outcomes. The optimal approach varies depending on stroke subtype, eligibility for reperfusion therapy, and the patient's overall clinical status, making evidence-based decision-making essential.

In this session, Dr Sudhir Kumar will discuss a practical approach to managing blood pressure in patients with acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. The session will cover current guideline recommendations, blood pressure targets before and after thrombolysis or thrombectomy, management in intracerebral hemorrhage, choice of antihypertensive agents, and common clinical pitfalls. Through case-based discussions, clinicians will gain confidence in making timely and appropriate blood pressure management decisions in the acute stroke setting.

Blood Pressure Management in Acute Stroke

Consultant Neurologist, Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad 

Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common complaints in everyday clinical practice, yet it is often under-evaluated or managed by guesswork. Patients describe numbness, tingling, burning pain, or weakness in the hands and feet, and the underlying cause is not always straightforward.

Diabetes and B12 deficiency are frequent culprits, but toxic, infectious, immune-mediated, and drug-induced causes are easy to miss.In this session, our expert speaker will walk through a practical, case-based approach to peripheral neuropathy, from recognizing common presentation patterns to choosing the right investigations and avoiding diagnostic pitfalls.

The session will also cover when to order nerve conduction studies, how to identify red flags that need urgent referral, and how to approach neuropathic pain with evidence-based treatment options.
