Abstract

Objective

To determine the predictive powers of intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) amongst severely brain injured children.

Materials and methods

ICP and CPP were recorded from thirty-five severely brain injured children who were prospectively recruited after admission to paediatric intensive care. Twenty-five suffered traumatic brain injury (TBI) and ten suffered non-TBI. Peak ICP and minimum CPP recorded for each patient during their admission were related to 5 year Glasgow Outcome Scale outcome. Receiver operator characteristic curves determined that the optimum threshold for unfavourable outcome prediction was ≥40 mmHg for ICP and ≤49 mmHg for CPP. At these thresholds the sensitivity/specificity pairs for the prediction of unfavourable outcome were 33.3/100% and 55.6/100% for ICP and CPP, respectively, amongst patients suffering TBI and were 46.2/100% and 66.2/100% for ICP and CPP, respectively, amongst all patients.

Conclusion

ICP and CPP are accurate predictors of unfavourable outcome.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
