Critical 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 کاملIntracranial pressure monitoring.
Recent studies have demonstrated that bedside cranial burr hole and insertion of intraparenchymal catheters for intracranial pressure monitoring performed by intensive care physicians is a safe procedure, with a complication rate comparable to other series published by neurosurgeons. The overall morbidity rate is comparable to, or even lower than, that caused by central vein catheterization. Th...
متن کاملIntracranial pressure monitoring.
Brain injury is the result of both primary and secondary damage, yielded by a complex range of factors including ischemia, biochemical changes and inflammatory cascade. Secondary brain injury may be caused by systemic or intracranial mechanisms including oligaemia due to low cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) or increased cerebral vascular resistance (vascular distortion or cerebro-vascular narr...
متن کامل10 Intracranial Pressure Monitoring
Intracranial pressure (ICP) measurement is an extremely important part of the neurosurgical armamentarium. Not only is raised ICP the commonest cause of death in neurosurgical patients, it is extremely common in patients suffering from head injury. In this latter group, 40% of patients who are admitted in an unconscious state have raised ICP, and in 50% of those who die, raised ICP is the main ...
متن کاملIntensive care management of head injury patients without routine intracranial pressure monitoring.
BACKGROUND Head injury contributes significantly to mortality and morbidity in India. Evaluation of the available trauma care facilities may help improve outcome. AIM To evaluate the factors influencing the mortality of patients with head injury who had intensive care management and evolve strategies to improve outcome. SETTING AND DESIGN Retrospective study in a tertiary hospital where int...
