Aim: To construct a nursing programme to manage intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) in neurocritical care patients.
Design: The consensus of 16 experts was collected using a two-round Delphi method.
Methods: First, we developed the early stages of the nursing programme for managing IAP in neurocritical care patients through preliminary study and relevant literature internationally. A questionnaire was then distributed to a panel of 16 experts, each with over 10 years of experience in respiratory critical care, neurocritical care or comprehensive intensive care unit treatment. Between April and May 2024, these experts reviewed the preliminary programme and provided feedback and recommendations for modifications.
Results: Two rounds of expert consultation were conducted. After the first round of expert feedback, 22 items were revised. In the second round, eight additional items were revised. The questionnaire recovery rates in both rounds of correspondence were 88.9% and 100%, and the authority coefficients were 0.869 and 0.888, respectively. The Kendall W values ranged from 0.127 to 0.336 (p < 0.001). Consensus was reached on six Level 1 entries, 17 Level 2 entries, and 50 Level 3 entries.
Conclusion: A panel of 16 experts approved the proposed nursing approach for managing IAP in neurocritical care.
Implications For The Profession And Patient Care: This nursing protocol offers a systematic approach for managing IAP throughout all stages of care in neurocritical settings. Moreover, this programme can guide neurocritical care nurses in maintaining optimal IAP at critical times. The protocol could potentially be used in training nurses on IAP regulation and enhancing their management skills in this specialised area of care, along with preventing IAP-related health issues.
Reporting Method: The study is reported in accordance with the Guidance on Conducting and Reporting DElphi Studies (CREDES) recommendations.
Patient Or Public Contribution: No patient or public contribution.

Introduction: The National Trauma Research Action Plan convened 11 topic area panels to complete consensus-driven Delphi surveys to identify high priority trauma research questions. The Neurotrauma Panel identified questions relating to interventional and comparative effectiveness trials in severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) critical care as highest priority. This qualitative secondary analysis aims to translate results across several Delphi panels into potential studies in sTBI critical care.

Background: New Onset Refractory Status Epilepticus (NORSE) is a neurological emergency with high mortality. Cryptogenic NORSE (cNORSE) is defined by a lack of an identifiable structural, toxic or metabolic etiology despite extensive workup. Survivors often develop significant long-term neurological sequelae and drug-resistant epilepsy.

Consensus Approach for Standardization of the Timing of Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Classification of Brain Injury in Neonates With Neonatal Encephalopathy/Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy: A Canadian Perspective.

Departments of Diagnostic Imaging, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Background: Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) are linked to significant neurodevelopmental impairments. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred modality for classifying brain injury severity in HIE, yet considerable variability exists among institutions in terms of MRI timing, protocols, injury classification, and scoring systems for predicting long-term outcomes.
Methods: A Canadian taskforce comprising radiologists and neonatologists was established to develop a consensus on the optimal timing of brain MRI, appropriate MRI protocols, and a unified approach to the classification and scoring of brain injury in infants with NE secondary to hypoxic-ischemic insult.
