Emergency management of increased intracranial pressure.
Primary neurological injury in children can be induced by diverse intrinsic and extrinsic factors including brain trauma, tumors, and intracranial infections. Regardless of etiology, increased intracranial pressure (ICP) as a result of the primary injury or delays in treatment may lead to secondary (preventable) brain injury. Therefore, early diagnosis and aggressive treatment of increased ICP ...

متن کاملCritical Care Management of Increased Intracranial Pressure
Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) is a pathologic state common to a variety of serious neurologic conditions, all of which are characterized by the addition of volume to the intracranial vault. Hence all ICP therapies are directed toward reducing intracranial volume. Elevated ICP can lead to brain damage or death by two principle mechanisms: (1) global hypoxic-ischemic injury, which results...
متن کاملIncreased Intracranial Pressure
After closure of the cranial fontanelles and sutures by 2 to 3 years of age, the skull is a rigid container of fixed volume. The intracranial contents constitute the brain bulk (80%), blood volume (10%), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (10%). According to the Monro-Kellie doctrine, intracranial volume is equal to the volume of the brain bulk, blood, CSF, and other mass lesions. Therefore, an incr...
