Pragmatic care trials have been designed to guide care in the presence of uncertainty. Trial methods can be integrated into routine neurosurgical practice.

Corresponding ethical and scientific concepts that need to be revised to practice outcome-based medical care are discussed. Illustrative examples of how RCTs can be used in routine neurovascular practice will be presented.


Bio:

Tim Darsaut completed medical school at Queen's University in 2002, followed by neurosurgical residency at the University of Alberta, and 3 years of fellowships at Stanford University and University of Montreal. He is now based in Edmonton, where he has a busy practise in General, Vascular and Endovascular Neurosurgery. His research interests are in neurovascular clinical trials, and he has designed and is running several international randomized care trials. These RCTs address the pathologies he common treats in his practice: unruptured aneurysms, ruptured aneurysms, and arteriovenous malformations. Dr Darsaut has over 100 peer-reviewed publications.

* Dr. Darsaut is a candidate for a CAS Clinical (Cerebrovascular) position in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at The Neuro.
