Given the novelty of amyloid-targeting treatments (ATTs) for Alzheimer’s disease, health care professionals specializing in emergency medicine are unfamiliar with best practices for managing patients receiving ATTs who present to emergency settings with symptoms of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA). These clinicians need to be aware of the best ARIA management guidance for supportive care, be able to interpret clinical trial protocols for management of serious ARIA events, provide tools and resources to patients, have experience with patient case examples in order to individualize treatment, and communicate with multidisciplinary colleagues about current evidence and best management practices.
The third and final episode of this CMEO BriefCase series focuses on a case involving a patient on an ATT presenting to the emergency department (ED), highlighting ED protocols to streamline care for patients with severe ARIA, recommendations for treatment and supportive care measures, global resources for guidance as the ATT landscape expands, management of ARIA according to best guidance, and communication with ATT-treating clinicians and radiologists.
