摘要
Objectives Stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) are common disorders treated by Canadian emergency physicians. The diagnosis and management of these conditions is time-sensitive and complex, requiring that emergency physicians have adequate training. This study sought to determine the extent of stroke and TIA training in Canadian emergency medicine residency programs. Methods A two-page survey was emailed to directors of all English-speaking emergency medicine residency programs in Canada. This included both the Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada (FRCPC) and the College of Family Physicians Enhanced Training [CCFP(EM)] residency programs. The number of mandatory and elective rotations, lectures, and examinations relevant to stroke and TIA were assessed. Results Nine FRCPC programs responded (of 11; RR=82%) and 11 CCFP(EM) programs responded (of 18; RR=61%), representing 20 of 29 programs in Canada (RR: 20/29=69%). Mandatory general neurology (3/9) and stroke neurology (2/9) rotations were offered in a minority of FRCPC programs and not at all in CCFP(EM) programs (0/11). Neuroradiology rotations were mandatory in 1/9 FRCPC programs and no CCFP(EM) programs (0/11). Acute ischemic stroke was allocated 3 hours of lecture time per year in all residency programs, regardless of route of training. Despite the fact that 100% of respondents train residents in facilities that administer thrombolysis for stroke, only 1/11 (9%) CCFP(EM) programs and 0/9 FRCPC programs have residents act as stroke team leaders. Conclusions Formal training in stroke and TIA is limited in Canadian emergency medicine residency programs. Enhanced training opportunities should be developed as this disease is sudden, life-threatening, and can have disabling or fatal consequences, and therapeutic options are time sensitive. RESUME Objectif Les accidents vasculaires cerebraux (AVC) et les accidents ischemiques transitoires (AIT) sont des troubles souvent traites dans les services des urgences au Canada. La pose du diagnostic et la prise en charge de ces affections sont complexes et le temps est un facteur important, aussi les urgentologues doivent-ils avoir une formation adequate. L'etude visait justement a determiner la place qu'occupe la formation sur les AVC et les AIT dans les programmes de residence en medecine d'urgence au Canada. Methode Un questionnaire de deux pages a ete transmis aux directeurs de tous les programmes de residence en medecine d'urgence, offerts en anglais, au Canada, tant ceux du College royal des medecins et chirurgiens du Canada (CRMCC [FRCPC]) que ceux du College des medecins de famille du Canada (CMFC), competences avancees (CA). Ont ete evalues le nombre de stages obligatoires et optionnels, les exposes magistraux et les examens relatifs aux AVC et aux AIT. Resultats Des reponses ont ete recues de 9 programmes du CRMCC (sur 11; taux de reponse [TR]=82 %) et de 11 programmes du CMFC (CA) (sur 18; TR=61 %), ce qui represente 20 programmes sur 29 au Canada (TR:20/29=69 %). Des stages obligatoires en neurologie generale (3/9) et en neurologie des AVC (2/9) etaient offerts dans un petit nombre de programmes du CRMCC et dans aucun programme du CMFC (CA) (0/11). Les stages en neuroradiologie etaient obligatoires dans 1/9 programme du CRMCC et dans aucun programme du CMFC (CA) (0/11). Trois heures d'expose magistral par annee portaient sur les AVC ischemiques aigus dans tous les programmes de residence, independamment du parcours de formation. Malgre le fait que tous les repondants disaient donner de la formation dans des etablissements oU l'on avait recours a la thrombolyse pour traiter les AVC, les residents agissaient a titre chefs d'equipe en AVC dans un 1/11 programme (9 %) seulement du CMFC (CA) et dans 0/9 programme du CRMCC. Conclusions La formation officielle, offerte dans les programmes de residence en medecine d'urgence au Canada sur les AVC et les AIT est minimale. Il faudrait accroitre les possibilites de formation approfondie puisque que la maladie se manifeste subitement, qu'elle met en danger la vie du malade, qu'elle peut laisser des sequelles invalidantes et meme etre mortelle, et que le temps influe sur les possibilites de traitement.
