AI Article Synopsis
- The review aims to establish a detailed management protocol for treating intracranial pressure (ICP) crises based on the latest research findings.
- It highlights crucial elements of critical care for ICP management, including ventilation, fluid therapy, and ICP monitoring, which can significantly influence patient outcomes.
- The article suggests that ongoing research is needed to create effective intervention protocols for both invasive and noninvasive neuromonitoring techniques in ICP cases.
Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: The objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive management protocol for the treatment of intracranial pressure (ICP) crises based on the latest evidence.
Recent Findings: The review discusses updated information on various aspects of critical care management in patients experiencing ICP crises, including mechanical ventilation, fluid therapy, hemoglobin targets, and hypertonic saline infusion, the advantages of ICP monitoring, the critical ICP threshold, and bedside neuromonitoring. All aspects of critical care treatment, including hemodynamic and respiratory support and adjustment of ICP reduction therapy, may impact patient outcomes. ICP monitoring allows ICP values, trends, waveforms, and CPP calculation, which are helpful to guide patient care. Advanced neuromonitoring devices are available at the bedside to diagnose impaired intracranial compliance and intracranial hypertension, assess brain function, and optimize cerebral perfusion. Future research should focus on developing appropriate intervention protocols for both invasive and noninvasive neuromonitoring in managing ICP crisis patients.

Background: Invasive mechanical ventilation can present complex challenges for patients with acute brain injury (ABI) in middle-income countries (MICs). We characterized the impact of country income level on weaning strategies and outcomes in patients with ABI.
Methods: A secondary analysis was performed on a registry of critically ill patients with ABI admitted to 73 intensive care units (ICUs) in 18 countries from 2018 to 2020.
Real-Time Automated Measurements of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter for Noninvasive Assessment of Intracranial Pressure in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Background: Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is a promising noninvasive parameter for intracranial pressure (ICP) assessment. However, in the setting of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), several previous studies have reported no association between ultrasonically measured ONSD and ICP. In this study, we evaluate ONSD in patients with aSAH using a novel method of automated real-time ultrasonographic measurements and explore whether factors such as having undergone surgery affects its association to ICP.

Real-time monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) is a routine part of neurocritical care in the management of brain injury. While mainly used to detect episodes of intracranial hypertension, the ICP signal is also indicative of the volume-pressure relationship within the cerebrospinal system, often referred to as intracranial compliance (ICC). Several ICP signal descriptors have been proposed in the literature as surrogates of ICC, but the possibilities of combining these are still unexplored.

BACKGROUND Decompressive craniectomy is a common life-saving intervention in the setting of elevated intracranial pressure. Cranioplasty restores the calvarium and intracranial physiology once swelling recedes. Cranioplasty is often thought of as a low-risk intervention.
