Abstract

Byline: Peter J. D. Andrews (1,2), Giuseppe Citerio (3), Luca Longhi (4), Kees Polderman (5), Juan Sahuquillo (6), Peter Vajkoczy (7) Keywords: Intracranial pressure monitoring; Cerebral perfusion pressure; Brain tissue oxygenation; Microdialysis Abstract: This manuscript summarises the consensus on neuromonitoring in neuro-intensive care promoted and organised by the Neuro-Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (NICEM) Section of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM). It is expected that continuous monitoring using multi-modal techniques will help to overcome the limitations of each individual method and will provide a better diagnosis. More specific treatment can then be applied however, it remains to be determined which combination of parameters is optimal. The questions discussed and addressed in this manuscript are: (1) Who should have ICP monitoring and for how long? (2) What ICP technologies are available and what are their relative advantages/disadvantages? (3) Should CPP monitoring and autoregulation testing be used? (4) When should brain tissue oxygen tension (PbrO.sub.2) be monitored? (5) Should structurally normal or abnormal tissue be monitored with PbrO.sub.2? (6) Should microdialysis be considered in complex cases? It is hoped that this document will prove useful to clinicians working in NICU and also to those developing specialist NICU services within their hospital practice.

Abstract

BACKGROUND. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) has been reported to occur in 20% to 40% of high-risk trauma patients if no prophylaxis is used. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of DVT and utility of a screening program in a high-risk group of trauma patients for whom routine DVT prophylaxis was utilized. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Of 3,154 trauma admissions over a 20-month period, 343 patients (10.9%) identified as high risk based on established criteria (prolonged bed rest, Glasgow coma score (GCS) of 7, spinal injury, lower extremity or pelvic fracture) were placed on a prospective surveillance protocol using color-flow duplex scanning and received thromboembolic prophylaxis. RESULTS: Twenty-three thromboembolic complications cations occurred, including 20 DVTs (5.8%) and 3 pulmonary emboli ([PE] 1%). Univariate analysis showed that the risk of DVT was related to age (52.6 + 19.9 years versus 38.1 + 18.5; P = 0.001), a longer hospital stay (31.4 versus 17.8 days; P = 0.001), or the presence of spinal fracture (12.6% versus 3.5%; P = 0.01). Discriminant function analysis revealed that length of stay, intensive care unit days, age, and GCS allowed correct classification of those who did not develop DVT in 97% of cases but was only correct in 15% of cases in predicting those who would develop DVT. injury severity score (ISS) was not predictive in this multivariate analysis. Seventeen (85%) DVTs were unsuspected clinically. Study patients received an average of 3.5 studies at an overall charge of $313,330 to detect 17 clinically unsuspected DVTs (5%). This represents about about 5% of the total bed charges for these patients, or $18,000 per DVT. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that standard use of DVT prophylaxis in a high-risk trauma population leads to a low incidence of DVT and that a screening protocol is effective in detecting unsuspected DVTs. Use of a surveillance protocol, however, may reduce but will not eliminate the incidence of pulmonary emboli in this patient population.

Abstract

Intensive care units should develop ways to reduce the amount of mechanical ventilation in patients who can breathe independently. Nurses and respiratory specialists are well suited to improve the quality of intensive care. Preventing the effects of drug-induced hypoventilation and providing non-invasive ventilation via face masks should further minimize mechanical ventilation. According to a 1996 study, discontinued ventilation in those who could tolerate it decreased both costs and complications markedly.
