Children with acute brain injury undergoing multimodal neurologic monitoring
Author(s): Glenn Azouvi*
Acute neurologic illness has a high mortality and neurologic disability
risk for children. Cerebral hypoxia, hypoperfusion, and edema
frequently exacerbate severe traumatic brain injury, cardiac arrest,
stroke, and central nervous system infection, resulting in additional
neurologic damage and worse outcomes. The management of
these conditions places an emphasis on close physiologic monitoring
and supportive care due to the lack of targeted neuroprotective
therapies. In this review, we will focus on the physiologic concepts
behind each tool and discuss advanced neurologic monitoring
strategies for pediatric acute neurologic illness. New monitoring
methods and the use of neurologic monitoring in critically ill patients
at risk of neurologic sequelae will also be highlighted in this article. .. View More»
