State-of-the-Art Evaluation of Acute Adult Disorders of Consciousness for the General Intensivist.

Crit Care Med

Division of Trauma, Surgical Critical Care and Emergency Surgery, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA.

Published: July 2023

AI Article Synopsis

  • The article reviews how general intensivists can effectively diagnose and manage unexpected disorders of consciousness (DoC) in adult patients.
  • It emphasizes a systematic approach based on the underlying causes—ranging from structural to pharmacologic issues—that influences treatment and transfer decisions.
  • The conclusions highlight the importance of collaboration and resource availability in optimizing patient care for acute DoC.

Article Abstract

Objectives: To provide a concise review of knowledge and practice pertaining to the diagnosis and initial management of unanticipated adult patient disorders of consciousness (DoC) by the general intensivist.

Data Sources: Detailed search strategy using PubMed and OVID Medline for English language articles describing adult patient acute DoC diagnostic evaluation and initial management strategies including indications for transfer.

Study Selection: Descriptive and interventional studies that address acute adult DoC, their evaluation and initial management, indications for transfer, as well as outcome prognostication.

Data Extraction: Relevant descriptions or studies were reviewed, and the following aspects of each manuscript were identified, abstracted, and analyzed: setting, study population, aims, methods, results, and relevant implications for adult critical care practice.

Data Synthesis: Acute adult DoC may be categorized by etiology including structural, functional, infectious, inflammatory, and pharmacologic, the understanding of which drives diagnostic investigation, monitoring, acute therapy, and subsequent specialist care decisions including team-based local care as well as intra- and inter-facility transfer.

Conclusions: Acute adult DoC may be initially comprehensively addressed by the general intensivist using an etiology-driven and team-based approach. Certain clinical conditions, procedural expertise needs, or resource limitations inform transfer decision-making within a complex care facility or to one with greater complexity. Emerging collaborative science helps improve our current knowledge of acute DoC to better align therapies with underpinning etiologies.
