Do you know how to manage Increased Intracranial Pressure (ICP)?

Dr. Evie Marcolini discusses managing elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) in critical care and emergency medicine settings. She emphasizes the importance of preserving cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) in brain injury or hemorrhage cases. The treatment follows a tiered approach, starting with a thorough assessment and simple interventions like head elevation, analgesia, and osmotic therapy with Mannitol or Hypertonic Saline. More invasive measures, such as vasoactive agents and paralytics, are considered in tier two, while tier three involves options like burst suppression with Phenobarbital or Craniectomy. Dr. Marcolini highlights the significance of understanding the underlying mechanism and choosing appropriate treatments to manage elevated ICP effectively.
