Saving the Brain — 2009 Highlights
The agenda for the second annual Saving the Brain Symposium covered advances in neuroscience critical care medicine. Save the date and plan to attend the next conference, coming up on October 2, 2010.
The second annual Saving the Brain symposium was held this past fall at the Fess Parker’s DoubleTree Resort in Santa Barbara. Approximately 200 physicians, nurses and ancillary team members attended the conference, which was presented by Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital and the Santa Barbara County Consortium for Continuing Medical Education, to learn more about the latest advances in the neurosciences.
The theme of the 2009 symposium was “Neuro Critical Care Medicine and Its Role within the Hospital Setting.”
One presentation, “The Critical Care of Stroke,” was given by Stephan Mayer, MD, who addressed emerging trends from the perspective of a critical care neuro-intensivist.

In another, Greg Albers, MD, spoke on “Extending the Time Window for Stroke Therapy Using Advanced Imaging Techniques.” These and other leading experts from across the United States gathered to deliver a total of 13 presentations.
Now entering its third year, the saving the Brain Symposium has established itself as a cornerstone for high-level neuroscience education on the Central Coast.
