Strokes are among the most time-sensitive medical emergencies, and delays in diagnosis can lead to irreversible neurological damage and expose providers to liability. Conversely, mistakenly treating a patient who is experiencing a stroke mimic as though they are having a true ischemic stroke\u2014particularly by administering thrombolytics like IV tPA\u2014can lead to serious complications, including hemorrhage, misdiagnosis, and harm from delayed identification of the actual condition. These situations are also a significant source of malpractice claims, especially when clinical documentation fails to demonstrate thorough reasoning or appropriate caution.\n\nSource: Hubspot\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[5 min read] Editor\u2019s Note: The TSG course on Stroke Mimics: Pearls and Pitfalls has been updated, one of several stroke\/TIA offerings.
