Despite the growing interest in possible applications of computer science and artificial intelligence (AI) field neurocritical care (neuro-ICU), widespread clinical are still missing. In neuro-ICU, collection analysis real time large datasets can play a crucial role advancing this medical improving personalized patient care. For example, AI algorithms detect subtle changes brain activity or vit...

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...

Asma Zakaria, MD J. Javier Provencio, MD George A. Lopez, MD, PhD Historically, neurology has been a primarily outpatient specialty.1 The advent of modern neurosurgical techniques, as well as more elegant means of artificial ventilation in the 1960s, brought increasing numbers of neurologic patients to the intensive care units (ICU). Although these patients were primarily managed by medical and...

New cerebral monitoring techniques allow direct measurement of brain oxygenation and metabolism. Investigation using these new tools has provided additional insight into the understanding of the pathophysiology of acute brain injury and suggested new ways to guide management of secondary brain injury. Studies of focal brain tissue oxygen monitoring have suggested ischemic thresholds in focal re...

OBJECTIVE Predicting extubation failure (EF) is one of the most challenging aspects of critical care medicine. The literature on EF in neurocritical care patients is very scarce. We sought to determine the ability of traditional weaning parameters to predict EF in neurocritical patients. METHODS This is a retrospective observational study performed at a tertiary level, academic, Neurological ...
