The use of transcranial Doppler pulsatility index to guide hyperosmolar therapy.
Management of intracranial hypertension is a major cornerstone of neurocritical care. Apart from traumatic brain injury, there are no clear guidelines for intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring. The insertion of ICP monitors is an invasive procedure with inherent risks and could be contraindicated in case of severe coagulopathy. The transcranial Doppler (TCD) pulsatility index (PI) has emerged ...
متن کاملHyperosmolar therapy for intracranial hypertension.
The use of hyperosmolar agents for intracranial hypertension was introduced in the early 20th century and remains a mainstay of therapy for patients with cerebral edema. Both animal and human studies have demonstrated the efficacy of two hyperosmolar agents, mannitol and hypertonic saline, in reducing intracranial pressure via volume redistribution, plasma expansion, rheologic modifications, an...
متن کاملReview and recommendations on management of refractory raised intracranial pressure in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
Intracranial hypertension is commonly encountered in poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients. Refractory raised intracranial pressure is associated with poor prognosis. The management of raised intracranial pressure is commonly referenced to experiences in traumatic brain injury. However, pathophysiologically, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is different from traumatic brain i...
متن کاملRandomized controlled trial comparing cerebral perfusion pressure-targeted therapy versus intracranial pressure-targeted therapy for raised intracranial pressure due to acute CNS infections in children.
OBJECTIVE In children with acute CNS infection, management of raised intracranial pressure improves mortality and neuromorbidity. We compared cerebral perfusion pressure-targeted approach with the conventional intracranial pressure-targeted approach to treat raised intracranial pressure in these children. DESIGN Prospective open-label randomized controlled trial. SETTING PICU in a tertiary ...
متن کاملRaised intracranial pressure (ICP): management in emergency department.
Raised intracranial pressure is a life threatening condition; unless recognized and treated early, it may progress into herniation syndrome and death. Symptoms and signs are neither sufficiently sensitive nor specific, hence a high index of suspicion and vigilance are needed for early recognition. Immediate goal of management is to prevent / reverse herniation and to maintain good cerebral perf...
