BACKGROUND Differentiating intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) from cerebral infarction as early as possible is vital for the timely initiation of different treatments. This study developed an applicable model for the ambulance system to differentiate stroke subtypes. METHODS From 26,163 patients initially screened over 4 years, this study comprised 1989 consecutive patients with potential first-e...
Due to technological advances, it is now feasible to record continuous digital EEG (CEEG), with or without video, in critically ill patients and review recordings remotely. Nonconvulsive seizures (NCSzs) are more common than previously recognized and are associated with worse outcome. The majority of seizures in ICU patients are nonconvulsive and will be missed without CEEG. Factors associated ...
AIM to determine the role of serum lactate and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) severity as predictors for five-days mortality in DKA patients. METHODS a prospective cohort study was conducted in DKA patients admitted to emergency department (ED) at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia, during 2007-2008 periods. Predictors for 5 days mortality in DKA patients in this study including ser...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Because the timing and strategy of surgical intervention in massive cerebellar infarction remains controversial, we report our experience with the management of 52 such patients. METHODS Case records, computed tomographic scans, surgical reports, and angiograms of 52 patients with space-occupying cerebellar infarction defined by computed tomographic criteria were reeval...
Background: Non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is defined as a change in mental state of at least 30 minutes associated with continuous or nearly continuous epileptiform discharges. Identification of prognostic indicators can guide decision making surrounding the use of poorly established treatment interventions in this heterogeneous population. Methods: We identified 66 consecutive inpat...
Adult brains in good health are capable of processing a variety intricate sensory data. The faces the object and people recognised, location, depth, distance identified. These basic complex perceptual abilities may be impacted by stroke or other acquired brain injury, such as head injury. Being unaware one's surroundings, when sleeping, being unresponsive to stimulation both symptoms unconsciou...
AIM Identifying cervical spine injuries in confused or comatose patients with multiple injuries provides a diagnostic challenge. Our aim was to investigate the protocols which are used for the clearance of the cervical spine in these patients in English hospitals. PATIENTS AND METHODS All hospitals in England with an Emergency Department were asked about the protocols which they use for asses...
OBJECTIVE To identify reliable predictors of outcome in comatose patients after cardiac arrest using a single routine EEG and standardized interpretation according to the terminology proposed by the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society. METHODS In this cohort study, 4 EEG specialists, blinded to outcome, evaluated prospectively recorded EEGs in the Target Temperature Management trial (TT...
Identification of novel biomarkers for prediction of neurological prognosis following cardiac arrest
BACKGROUND Early prognostication of neurological outcome in comatose patients after cardiac arrest (CA) is important for devising patient treatment strategies. However, there is still a lack of sensitive and specific biomarkers for easy identification of these patients. We evaluated whether molecular signatures from blood of CA patients might help to improve the prediction of neurological outco...
