About This Course
Acute Vertigo
Be the one who sees clearly
Course Overview
This module helps you tackle one of the most confusing and common complaints in the ER: vertigo. You will learn the difference between true vertigo and general dizziness, and why that distinction matters more than it seems.
The module walks through central and peripheral causes, key red flags, and how to capture the patient’s story through solid history-taking. Clinical exams are broken down step by step, including neurological and general assessments that help you decide whether it is safe to treat or time to scan.
You will also explore how to distinguish central from peripheral vertigo using bedside tools, imaging, and smart investigation choices.
