1st Neurological Mission Tena 2009

March 30 - Abril 1, 2009

 

 

          
The team saw a total of 475 patients (including 165 cases of epilepsy) and performed 125 EEGs for diagnostic purposes to determine appropriate management. Team members also consulted on several neurological emergencies in the emergency room (meningitis, stroke, post-neurosurigcal altered mental status). Local internists and pediatricians attended and assisted in consultations. All patients were provided follow-up appointments with local medical staff, with whom Dr. Espinosa and colleagues will continue to consult via email and teleconferencing on patients seen in follow-up as well as new patients with neurological issues.

Educational workshops were provided for the physicians of Hopsital José Maria Velasco of Tena regarding epilepsy diagnosis and management (Sebastian Espinosa) and traumatic brain injury (Dr. Karin Swartz).

 


Dr. Blanca Vazquez (NYU) provided additional educational workshops for local police, firefighters, teachers, educators, psychologists, and nurses on the recognition of and first response to seizures.

Our current plan is to organize smaller consultation visits at 6 month intervals and larger group visits at 1 year intervals.
