How to manage ICP
Eval ABCs and etiology: avoid hypoxia and hypercarbia
Increase venous drainage
elevate head 15-20 degrees if hemodynamically
ensure no venous obstruction (esp if C collar in place)
diureticsadmin mannitol: (reduces ICP by osmotically shifting fluid from brain to intravascular space, decrease production CSF, induce reflex cerebral vasoconstriction 2/2 decreasing blood viscosity(lasts 6 hr)
risktransient increase intravascular volume can increase BP & decrease ICP (increase transmural pressure): hazard to unrupture aneurysm, AVM, expanding hematoma (mod elevated ICP can serve to tamponade the lesions
elderly: rapid diuresis shrink brain and tear bridging veinssubdural hematoma
increase vascular volume poorly tolerated by HF
cerebal edema if BBB not intact
furosemide
keep in mind that in presence of hypovolemia this an lead to hypotension and worsen cerebral ischemia
hypertonic saline
admin barbiturate/propofol (reduced ICP 2/2 cerebral vasoconstriction) and CMR02
risk of hypotension when admin large doses for cerebral protection
hyperventilation to PaC02 25-30 if other methods unsuccessful and ICP elevation was so severe that there was risk of brain stem herniation
too much cerebral vasoconstriction can leadto cerebral injury
effects temporary (6-12 hrs) since Hc02 levels in CSF are adjusted for the change in PaC02
between Pac02 20-80 CBF changes 1ml/100g per 1mmHg change PaC02
If ICP severe requires immediate tx: intraventricular drainremove CSF (no more than 5cc/min).
Too much can cause brainstem herniationHTN/hypotension/bradycardia/tacycardia
if lumbar catheter can cause herniation if obstructive hydrocephalus (obstruction proximal to superior sagittal sinus
steroids if brain tumor for vasogenic edema, decrease CSF production?
if at risk for seizures implement seizure ppx to avoid increases CMR02
change agent (volatile to TIVA)
