- 3. A QUICK REVIEW THE NEUROLOGICAL SCREENING EXAMINATION (+- 9 MIN)
- 4. • I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT IN A PATIENT WITH A SUSPECTED INTRACRANIAL ABNORMALITY IT’S NOT UNREASONABLE TO DO A 9 MINUTE SCREENING EXAMINATION SUCH AS THE ONE DEMONSTRATED • I’M SURE IN A PT WITH A LESION OR OTHER ABNORMALITY WE WILL START NOTICING ABNORMALITIES WELL BEFORE THE END OF THE EXAMINATION • A MORE DETAILED EXAMINATION MAY BE PERFORMED BY A NEUROLOGIST OR PHYSICIAN AT A LATER STAGE • BUT THE SCREENING TEST CAN VERY EASILY TELL US IF THERE IS AN ABNORMALITY • FOR ANYONE WHOSE BEEN TO OR ROTATED THROUGH NEUROLOGY, YOU KNOW THAT A NEUROLOGIST CAN TAKE UP TO 90 MIN PER PT, • EMERGENCY DRS DON’T HAVE THAT TYPE OF PATIENCE!!!!
