SAH stroke Correct! The bright white areas indicate a bleed in the subarachnoid space. Great job Dr _______! Proceed! Return to ER Bleeding
nSAH Stroke CT scan of nSAH stroke Does your patient’s CT scan match this one? Try again! Your patient’s CT scan Return to ER
EMR – Scene B, Act 3 Causes of SAH hemorrhagic strokes and their treatments Return to ER
Neurosurger for Mr. Jones? Sorry, Mr. Jones’s SAH stroke if probably due to an aneurysm since there is no recent trauma in his medical history. Therefore, surgery is not a good choice for him. Try again! Return to the ER
A second test for Mr. Jones? Correct! Mr. Jones’s SAH stroke if probably due to an aneurysm since there is no recent trauma in his medical history. Now, you must determine the best test for to find Mr. Jones’s aneurysm. Hurry, the clock is ticking! Return to the ER

EMR: Scene B, Act 4 Definitions/examples of MRI w/common uses Definitions/examples of PET scan w/common uses Definitions/examples of CT angiogram w/common uses Return to ER
CT Angiogram for Mr. Jones? Correct! A CT Angiogram will allow you to find the location of the suspected angiogram. Proceed to the CT Angiogram room!
An MRI for Mr. Jones? This patient’s symptoms started over an hour ago and an MRI will take minutes. This may not leave you enough time for treatment. Try again!Try again!
A PET scan for Mr. Jones? PET scans are normally used to show brain functioning, not cardiovascular anatomy. Try again!Try again!
Dr. ________’s Notes CT angiogram ordered in order to determine the location of the aneurysm. MRI rejected due to time issues and PET scan rejected because it would show brain functioning, not brain anatomy.
