Traumatic brain injury: pathophysiology for neurocritical care.
Severe cases of traumatic brain injury (TBI) require neurocritical care, the goal being to stabilize hemodynamics and systemic oxygenation to prevent secondary brain injury. It is reported that approximately 45 % of dysoxygenation episodes during critical care have both extracranial and intracranial causes, such as intracranial hypertension and brain edema. For this reason, neurocritical care i...
متن کاملBrain injury following cardiac arrest: pathophysiology for neurocritical care.
Cardiac arrest induces the cessation of cerebral blood flow, which can result in brain damage. The primary intervention to salvage the brain under such a pathological condition is to restore the cerebral blood flow to the ischemic region. Ischemia is defined as a reduction in blood flow to a level that is sufficient to alter normal cellular function. Brain tissue is highly sensitive to ischemia...
متن کاملBrain and lung: dangerous crosstalk
lung injury (ALI) occurs in 20–25% of the patients with isolated brain injury and is associated with a poor neuro-logical outcome [1]. Patients with ALI admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) often develop neuropsychological changes, as do patients recovering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [2]. This implies that there are close interactions between the brain and lung. The pr...
متن کاملEpileptiform activity in neurocritical care patients.
BACKGROUND Non-convulsive seizures have been reported to be common in neurocritical care patients. Many jurisdictions do not have sufficient resources to enable routine continuous electroencephalography (cEEG) and instead use primarily intermittent EEG, for which the diagnostic yield remains uncertain. Determining risk factors for epileptiform activity and seizures could help identify patients ...
متن کاملOptimal glycemic control in neurocritical care patients
Currently, the major issue in glycemic control in neurocritical care patients is that tight glycemic control (target range of 80 to 110 mg/dL) using intensive insulin therapy is associated with higher rates of hypoglycemia without an improvement in survival rate. The review by Kramer and colleagues in this issue of Critical Care confirms these data but provides solid evidence about the relation...
