Importance: Invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) is the standard of care in patients with acute brain injury (ABI) with impaired consciousness. The Neurological Pupil Index (NPi) obtained by automated pupillometry is promising for noninvasively estimating ICP.
Objectives: To evaluate the association between repeated NPi and invasive ICP values.
Objective: Leadership development assessments are a critical component of student pharmacists' understanding and development of effective team strategies.
Methods: The 5 Voices tool, developed by GiANT Worldwide, was incorporated into the leadership curriculum across 2 colleges of pharmacies for second-year Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) students. One public land-grant institution administers the assessment in the fall semester during a 2-h class session as part of a leadership elective leadership course and a private liberal arts institution distributes the 5 Voices assessment to all students during a 1-h spring semester required course.
Article Synopsis
- The study looks into complications that happen outside the brain in patients who have suffered traumatic brain injury (TBI), which can affect how well they recover.
- Researchers examined data from a trial to find out what specific patient factors lead to these complications, especially in poorer countries.
- The results showed that many patients faced serious problems like infections and breathing issues, and certain treatments like monitoring brain pressure were linked to these complications.
