Neurologic Examination of the Toddler: How to assess for increased intracranial pressure following head traumaAnis unavailable. This article is available as HTML full text and PDF.Laura OrfanelliThe American Journal of Nursing
we use TCD to target blood pressure to a level corresponding to the patient’s individual optimal autoregulatory status. The most simple methods to assess CA at the bedside are (a) the static
This view is obtained by positioning the probe between the tragus and the lateral orbit wall, with the probe marker facing toward the eye. The first step of POCUS-BU using TCD could be to assess the CBFV of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) through the transtemporal window, which has been...
Expansion and refinement of an imaging-based “natural history” catalog of the pathophysiological processes that occur throughout the entire infarct evolution process would yield techniques that could be applied to assess distinct mechanisms of cerebroprotective action (Table2). Different steps in the e...
The first step in diagnosing DVT is to assess its likelihood using history and physical exam findings. A scoring system called the Wells score is an accepted tool for assessing DVT probability. The Wells score is determined by major risk factors (recent history of surgery or bed rest, immobiliz...
While data support the role of early empirical use of plasma in major traumatic bleeding, in non-trauma settings the effect of high transfusion ratios of RBC and FFP on mortality is uncertain due to lack of clinical trials to assess its utility. Differential effects on mortality have been ...
Preoperatively, assess patients for the risks of depression and suicide. This assessment should consider both the risk of depression and suicide as well as the potential clinical benefits of DBS therapy for the condition being treated. Postoperatively, actively monitor patients for new or worsening...
When an adult patient presents to the clinic complaining of chest pain with associated symptoms, the clinician should assess the likelihood for underlying ischemic disease, initiate a diagnostic workup with an electrocardiogram, and begin treatment to relieve ischemic symptoms. Suppose there is a concer...
The articles were read to assess whether they mentioned only a procedural management of AD or whether they specifically investigated a treatment of AD. RESULTS The keywords on autonomic dysreflexia AND spinal cord injury gave rise to 558 articles and that on autonomic hyperreflexia AND spinal cord...
TCD-derived indices, including flow velocities and pulsatility index, allow to assess cerebrovascular dynamics and to calculate secondary indices including noninvasive intracranial pressure,...doi:10.1007/978-3-319-73670-9_39C. RobbaAddenbrooke’s HospitalG. Citerio...
