NeuroED: Your Portable Guide to Neurological Emergencies

NeuroED is a comprehensive mobile application designed to serve as an essential tool for healthcare professionals dealing with neurological emergencies. This application offers a portable repository of current guidelines from the Neurological University Hospital Bern, specifically tailored for use in neurological emergency departments and intensive care units. The primary objective of NeuroED is to equip medical practitioners with up-to-date emergency protocols related to stroke and neurology, ensuring they are always prepared for both routine learning and critical on-the-spot decision-making scenarios.

At its core, NeuroED provides a detailed set of guidelines covering various aspects of neurological care. These include general emergency guidelines, stroke-specific protocols, neurology-focused recommendations, neurological emergency responses, and specialized guidelines for the neurological intensive care unit (ICU). The app consolidates these guidelines into easily accessible formats, making it an indispensable resource for clinicians across different levels of expertise. Additionally, users can access three key guidelines in PDF format: the Stroke Guidelines of the Bern Stroke Network, Stroke Guidelines for Children from the same network, and the Neuro Pocket guide. Each of these resources has been meticulously curated to ensure accuracy and relevance.

The content within NeuroED spans a wide array of topics crucial to managing neurological conditions effectively. For instance, it offers comprehensive stroke guidelines that address both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes in adult and pediatric populations. Other critical areas covered include coma management, intracranial pressure monitoring, hypoxic encephalopathy, status epilepticus, NORSE/FIRES (New Onset Refractory Status Epilepticus/Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome), TLOC (Transient Loss of Consciousness), infectious and autoimmune encephalitis, ICANS/CRES (Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome/Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell-related Encephalopathy Syndrome), ICI (Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor)-related neurotoxicity, toxic syndromes, electrolyte disturbances, SREAT (Steroid-Responsive Encephalopathy Associated with Autoimmune Thyroiditis), PRES (Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome), functional neurological disorders, amnesia/TGA (Transient Global Amnesia), delirium, headaches, movement disorders, cranial nerve palsies, dizziness, peripheral nerve deficits, Guillain-Barré syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and myasthenic crisis.

Each topic is presented with precision and clarity, supported by relevant illustrations that are provided freely for non-commercial purposes. These visual aids enhance understanding and retention, enabling healthcare providers to apply their knowledge more effectively in real-world settings. By leveraging NeuroED, medical teams can streamline their workflow, improve patient outcomes, and stay abreast of the latest advancements in neurological care. Whether you're a seasoned neurologist or a resident physician, this app serves as an invaluable companion in navigating the complexities of neurological emergencies.
