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 focus on recent evidence that is not incorporated in the existing guidelines.

This prospective, randomized clinical trial comparing invasive versus noninvasive ICP monitoring in patients with severe TBI challenges the convention that invasive ICP monitoring is always necessary. No differences in mortality or functional outcomes were found between groups. There are important differences in health care delivery systems between the study population and fully developed countries that may limit generalizability, but the results are intriguing.

Crit Care Med. 2011;39:554–9. This is a well-conducted meta-analysis of trials comparing the ICP lowering efficacy of hypertonic saline with that of mannitol. Although the effectiveness was found to be superior with hypertonic saline, the analysis is remarkable for the relatively small number of subjects included. The results have been cited as evidence in favor of the superiority of hypertonic saline as a first-line therapy for elevated ICP by some, but others have interpreted the study as insufficient to change practice.

Lancet Neurol. 2011;10:131–9. This is a prospective, randomized trial in severe TBI patients comparing the effect of induced hypothermia to 33 °C versus normothermia on 6-month outcomes. The trial was stopped early for futility and no difference was noted. Maintenance of hypothermia for only 48 h, a duration potentially insufficient to impart benefit, has been postulated as the factor responsible for the lack of benefit. The design and limitations of this trial have greatly informed the design and conduct of the ongoing EUROTHERM3235 trial.

This Cochrane review examined the effect of barbiturate use, predominantly to induce electroencephalographic burst suppression in patients with severe TBI, on mortality. Although no effect on mortality was found, the increased incidence of side effects, including a 25 % incidence of hypotension in the barbiturate group, provides compelling evidence to routinely avoid use of barbiturates.

Blutdrucksenkung schon im Rettungswagen bei akutem Schlaganfall?

31.05.2024 Apoplex Nachrichten

Der optimale Ansatz für die Blutdruckkontrolle bei Patientinnen und Patienten mit akutem Schlaganfall ist noch nicht gefunden. Ob sich eine frühzeitige Therapie der Hypertonie noch während des Transports in die Klinik lohnt, hat jetzt eine Studie aus China untersucht.

Ähnliche Überlebensraten nach Reanimation während des Transports bzw. vor Ort

29.05.2024 Reanimation im Kindesalter Nachrichten

Laut einer Studie aus den USA und Kanada scheint es bei der Reanimation von Kindern außerhalb einer Klinik keinen Unterschied für das Überleben zu machen, ob die Wiederbelebungsmaßnahmen während des Transports in die Klinik stattfinden oder vor Ort ausgeführt werden. Jedoch gibt es dabei einige Einschränkungen und eine wichtige Ausnahme.

29.05.2024 Hyponatriämie Nachrichten

Eine ältere Frau trinkt regelmäßig Sennesblättertee gegen ihre Verstopfung. Der scheint plötzlich gut zu wirken. Auf Durchfall und Erbrechen folgt allerdings eine Hyponatriämie. Nach deren Korrektur kommt es plötzlich zu progredienten Kognitions- und Verhaltensstörungen.

Häusliche Gewalt in der orthopädischen Notaufnahme oft nicht erkannt

28.05.2024 Häusliche Gewalt Nachrichten

In der Notaufnahme wird die Chance, Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt zu identifizieren, von Orthopäden und Orthopädinnen offenbar zu wenig genutzt. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer Fragebogenstudie an der Sahlgrenska-Universität in Schweden hin.
