Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) represents a major cause of mortality in
the United States, contributing to approximately 30% of all injury-related
deaths. In 2010, approximately 2.5 million emergency department (ED) visits,
hospitalizations, or deaths were associated with TBI, placing a substantial
burden on the health care system. Time
sensitive treatment and management of the primary brain injury is critical to
prevent secondary injury to the brain.
Optimization of outcomes for TBI patientsrequires an individualized approach. Traditional
management strategies for patients with increased ICP have focused on treatment
thresholds based on a defined value.
Research demonstrates that real time multi-modality monitoring data
including intracranial pressure (ICP), blood flow monitoring, cerebral tissue
oxygenation (PbtO2) can yield important information regarding brain
compliance and treatment of the underlying pathology to improve patient
outcomes. This program will describe clinical strategies to leverage advanced
analytics in multi-modality monitoring to influence care in the intensive care
unit (ICU). Faculty will invite questions and stimulate an interactive
environment for learning.
