Pfiedler Education* presents…On-demand: “Intracranial Pressure Monitoring: What Have You Been Missing?”
The management of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with brain injuries is complex and requires an individualized approach. Traditional management strategies for patients with increased ICP have focused on treatment thresholds based on a defined value. Research demonstrates that real time monitoring of waveform data can yield important information regarding brain compliance and treatment of the underlying pathology to improve patient outcomes. This program will describe clinical strategies to leverage advanced analytics in ICP monitoring to influence care in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Learning Objectives | After completing this continuing nursing education activity, the participant should be able to:
1. Discuss the differences between Primary and Secondary brain injury.
2. Integrate concepts of Monro-Kellie Doctrine and autoregulation into causes of increased
intracranial pressure (ICP).
3. Identify the main components of the ICP waveform and indication of brain compliance.
4. Discuss available advanced analytics and utility at the intensive care unit (ICU) bedside.
5. Define “ICP dose/ICP burden” and how these concepts can influence care in the Neuro ICU.
Target Audience: Intended for nurses or other healthcare professionals who are interested in learning about intracranial pressure monitoring.
