Article Synopsis
- Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring for severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) varies worldwide due to differences in resources and medical philosophies, with a lack of comprehensive management strategies for suspected intracranial hypertension (SICH) when monitoring is absent.
- A consensus conference with 43 Latin American medical professionals refined the existing BEST:TRIP algorithm, creating the CREVICE (Consensus REVised ICE) algorithm to define SICH and outline management and treatment options.
- The CREVICE algorithm serves as a structured decision-support model for sTBI management in settings without ICP monitoring, aiming to improve clinical care and guide future research, while being based on expert consensus due to limited existing literature.
