Ictal –Interictal Continuum in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
ConclusionsRhythmic and periodic patterns and subsequently the IIC are commonly seen in the PICU and carry a high association with cerebral injury. Additionally, the IIC, seen in more than 10% of critically ill children, is associated with ES. The independent impact of RPP and IIC patterns on secondary brain injury and need for treatment of these patterns independent of ES requires further study. (Source: Neurocritical Care)

Therapeutic Hypothermia Compared with Normothermia in Adults with Traumatic Brain Injury; Functional Outcome, Mortality, and Adverse Effects: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionsWith the addition of several recent randomized clinical trials and a thorough quality assessment, we have provided an updated systematic review and meta-analysis that concludes that TH does not show any benefit over normothermia in terms of mortality and functional outcome.

Assessment of Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Related Variables in Acute Stroke Patients Receiving Intravenous Antihypertensive Medication Infusions
ConclusionsWe found that SBP fluctuations were associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with acute stroke. IV antihypertensive medication reduced SBP but did not reduce SBP fluctuations in this observational study. Our results highlight the need for optimizing therapeutic interventions to reduce SBP fluctuations in patients with acute stroke. (Source: Neurocritical Care)

Coma Prevalence in Critical Care Units in Chile: Results of a Cross-Sectional Survey on World Coma Day
ConclusionsThis study provides an overview of the prevalence of coma in Chilean critical and cardiac care units. Coma is a common condition. Comatose patients frequently experience medical complications during their hospitalization. (Source: Neurocritical Care)

Survivorship After Neurocritical Care: A Scoping Review of Outcomes Beyond Physical Status
AbstractFollowing intensive care unit hospitalization, survivors of acute neurological injury often experience debilitating short-term and long-term impairments. Although the physical/motor impairments experienced by survivors of acute neurological injury have been described extensively, fewer studies have examined cognitive, mental health, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and employment outcomes. This scoping review describes the publication landscape beyond physical and/or motor sequelae in neurocritical care survivors. Databases were searched for terms related to critical illness, intensive care, and outcomes fro...

Analysis of Cerebral Spinal Fluid Drainage and Intracranial Pressure Peaks in Patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
ConclusionsFindings indicate that effects of CSF drainage via EVD and LD differ. Higher amounts and higher proportions of LD volumes were associated with better outcomes, suggesting a potential quantity-dependent protective effect. Optimizing LD volume and mitigating ICP spikes may be a strategy to improve patient outcomes after aSAH.Clinical trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01258257.
