Monitoring Modality

Intracranial pressure monitoring is considered the standard of care for severe traumatic brain injury and is used frequently. However, the efficacy of treatment based on monitoring in improving the outcome has not been rigorously assessed. We conducted a trial in which we included 26 patients of all types of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and they were monitored for intracranial pressure by Conventional fluid filled system with a manometer (Group 1) and compared with the Fiber optic transducer-tipped intracranial pressure monitoring system (Group 2).The main aim of this study was to examine the relationship between Intracranial Pressure (ICP) monitoring and in-hospital mortality. The median length of stay in the ICU was similar in the two groups (12 days in the conventional pressure-monitoring group and 9 days in the new fiber optic group; P=0.25), the number of days of brain-specific treatments (e.g., administration of hyperosmolar fluids and the use of hyperventilation) in the ICU was similar in both groups. The distribution of serious adverse events was similar in the two groups. We concluded that ICP monitoring (as is any monitoring modality) is a useful guide for management. The outcomes are decided by the differences in management protocols that the knowledge of the said parameter brings about. ICP monitoring is recommended for the better management of traumatic brain injury and fiber optic ICP monitoring seems to be beneficial than using the conventional methods of ICP monitoring with manometer.Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 15, Number 2, 2018, page: 23-29

Mortality And Morbidity

Abstract Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is among the most important public health problems associated with high healthcare and social burden and significant mortality and morbidity. Overall low income countries have the highest TBI associated mortality and morbidity. Aim of the Work Some studies have demonstrated that intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring reduces the mortality of traumatic brain injury (TBI). But other studies have shown that ICP monitoring is associated with increased mortality. Patients and Methods Systematic review of Published English literature from 2000 to 2017. Using appropriate combinations of MeSH terms and key words, including intracranial pressure, intracranial hypertension, ICP monitor, intracranial pressure monitoring, TBI traumatic brain injury, and craniocerebral trauma. Brain Trauma Foundation guidelines, mortality. We performed this relatively wide search to include the maximum number of relevant patients. Results In total, 2552 studies were identified and screened for retrieval using the strategy described above. After careening the title and abstract, 1968 studies were excluded and 554 were retrieved and subjected to detailed evaluations. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 527 of those studies were excluded, and thus 27 studies were included in the systematic review. All included studies were published, peer-previewed papers. Conclusion ICP monitoring may play a role in decreasing the rate of electrolyte disturbances, rate of renal failure, and increasing favorable functional outcome. However, there was no significant effect for reducing the risk of hospital mortality, lowering occurrence rate of pulmonary infection, use of mechanical ventilation and duration of hospital stays. RCTs with larger sample size are necessary to further support the current results.
