Decompressive laparotomy to treat intractable intracranial hypertension after traumatic brain injury. Harbingers of poor outcome the day after severe brain injury: hypothermia, hypoxia, and hypoperfusion. Dubovsky SL. 59. Consideration should be given to placement of an ICP monitor in patients with severe TBI. Neurologic function at 6 months did not differ between the two groups, although mean sodium levels in the treatment group was only 149 mEq/L12 A multicenter randomized clinical trial in 2010 by Bulger, et. In vitro norepinephrine significantly activates isolated platelets from healthy volunteers and critically ill patients following severe traumatic brain injury. Pharmacologic management of cognitive impairment induced by cancer Traumatic brain injury is a leading cause of death and disability in trauma patients. al found that patients who were not fed within the first week after TBI had significant increases in mortality, even when controlled for other factors known to affect outcome.85 Early enhanced EN, where goal feeds are reached on day 1 of injury, has also showed benefit over more traditional EN in terms of infectious and overall complications and possibly even longer term outcomes out to three months post injury.86 Other studies have shown that EN within 48 hours is associated with improved survival and neurologic outcome in severely head injured patients.87 There is some evidence that transpyloric feeding is associated with decreased pneumonia and is more efficacious in patients with TBI compared to the gastric route.88 Achieving adequate caloric intake by day 7 and transgastric jejunal feeding is currently supported by the BTF guidelines. Valproic acid, for example, enhances inhibitory control mediated by the neurotransmitter GABA, thereby promoting general central nervous system stabilization, but findings thus far have been mixed.

Further research is required to understand the biology of pediatric gliomas as well as the use of molecularly targeted agents, especially in patients with surgically unresectable tumors. Decompressive craniectomy (DC) has been shown to reduce ICP and can be considered if ICP is refractory to other measures, although some may consider it earlier in the treatment algorithm.24,26,66,67 In the DECRA (Decompressive craniectomy in diffuse traumatic brain injury) randomized clinical trial, bifrontotemporoparietal decompressive craniectomy in patients with diffuse traumatic brain injury and refractory ICH resulted in lower ICP and shorter ICU length of stay.

The manifestations of PBA can negatively affect QOL measures in patients and their caregivers.52,53 Patients with PBA may be more prone to depression, with a corresponding propensity to take antidepressants at a higher rate compared with cohorts without PBA.54 This can have implications in regard to choosing appropriate pharmacotherapy for PBA. Irrespective of the medication type, 20.4% of them had no sufficient pain relief. The International Committee Tricyclic antidepressant pharmacology and therapeutic drug interactions updated.

The acknowledgment of industry support and involvement in the published studies address some concerns of transparency and potential effects of industry support that can assist clinicians in making informed decisions.60,61 In the case of PBA, clinicians and managed care professionals can base such decisions on the limited number of clinical trials of off-labeluse drugs and/or on the larger, manufacturer-sponsored clinical trials, as well as their overall clinical knowledge.

Psychopharmacology (Berl). Trauma is the leading cause of death in individuals aged 145, with traumatic brain injury (TBI) responsible for the majority of these, over 50,000 deaths per year in the United States.13 TBI can be clinically stratified into mild, moderate, and severe based on the Glasgow Coma Scale Score (GCS), with associated permanent disability rates of 10, 60, and 100%, respectively, and overall mortality rates of 2030%.3,4 The economic impact is over $80 billion in the US alone according to the most recent CDC data.3,5 This article focuses on the prehospital, emergency department, and intensive care unit (ICU) management of TBI. Thus, it has been suggested that while methylphenidate may shorten recovery time, it does not change morbidity.[12].

Current prevailing theories suggest that PBA occurs when neural pathways that modulate emotional responses in the brain are interrupted, particularly descending pathways from the brain (such as the frontal lobes) to the cerebellum through the basis pontis.6 Medical disorders or conditions, such as Parkinson disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer disease (AD), TBI, and stroke, which result in a disruption of those pathways, can produce the hallmark symptoms of PBAinvoluntary and uncontrollable laughter and/or crying.4,7 The primary neurotransmitters involved in PBA are serotonin and glutamate, and pharmacologic treatments have focused on drugs that modulate these neurotransmitters.1,8,9, Until 2010, there had been no FDA-approved drug with an indication for PBA.

Decompressive craniectomy: a metaanalysis of influences on intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure in the treatment of traumatic brain injury. In the chronic phase after a TBI, patients have reported improvements in mood, work performance, and alertness, with more limited evidence suggesting an improvement of fluency and selective attention. Temozolomide, an oral imidazotetrazine prodrug, while considered standard of care for adult HGG, has not shown the same degree of benefit in the treatment of pediatric HGG. If intra-cranial hemorrhage is identified on an immediate head CT in a patient on warfarin, 4 units of type-specific FFP and 10 mg of IV vitamin K are administered with a goal INR of <1.6. At 150 mg daily, this agent has been useful in treating restlessness.[25]. In one study, patients with moderate to severe TBI transferred to level I trauma centers via helicopter who had secondary insults (either SBP <90 mmHg or SpO2 <92%) were found to have a 28% mortality, compared to 20% of patients without such insults. Hypertonic saline (HTS) of various concentrations and mannitol are the primary pharmacologic agents used to reduce ICP, perhaps through reduction in blood viscosity, improved microcirculatory flow, and decreased cerebral blood volume. Patients were randomized to either placebo or 2 doses of dextromethorphan/quinidine, 30/10 mg or 20/10 mg, dosed twice daily.
