ICU Management of Traumatic Brain Injury

Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability throughout the world. Injury can be divided into primary and secondary injuries. For patients with TBI admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), the management and prevention of secondary injury is most important. The third edition of the Brain Trauma Foundation guidelines was published in 2007 and is widely used to guide treatment of patients with severe TBI. This article reviews ICU care of patients with severe TBI, with a particular focu… Show more

“…Subjectivity of size measurements leads to inconsistencies in the medical record of the patient’s symmetry measurements (Martinez-Ricarte et al 2013 ; Du et al 2005 ; Boev et al 2005 ; Taylor et al 2003 ; Rosenberg et al 2011 ; Fountas et al 2006 ; Hults et al 2006 ). Pupillary measurements taken by the IP decrease discrepancies between clinicians (Boev et al 2005 ) and add objectivity to the examination in the neurocritical care setting (Hallman and Joffe 2013 ). Our data show that IP readily captures pupil size (Figures 1 B, 2 B, and 3 E) in mm, however, NPi technology is a more reliable method for evaluating pupillary function.…”
