Treatment Approaches in Intracranial Hypertension: A Review
Abstract: Intracranial hypertension is considered, when intracranial pressure (ICP) increases above 20 mmHg for a period of more than 5 min. A persistent rise in ICP produces compression effect over cerebral vasculature and reduces cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP). It results in brain stem compression and herniation, if left untreated. A systematic assessment of clinical status, serial and continuous monitoring of vital parameters and evidence based therapeutic …
