IntracranialHypertension
• Clinical manifestations – Headache, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, diplopia (CN VI
palsies), upgaze palsy (Parinaud s syndrome)
– Depressed level of consciousness
– Cushing s triad (hypertension, bradycardia, irregular respirations)
• Two major concerns with elevated ICP– Pressure gradient leading to tissue shifts (herniation syndromes)
– Reduction of CPP/CBF leading to secondary ischemic injury

Monro-KellieDoctrine
• Cranial vault is a fixed space
• As volume is added to skull, ICP will rise– Mass lesion (hematoma, tumor, abscess)
– Edema (cytotoxic or vasogenic)
– Hydrocephalus
• Initial increase in volume is compensated– CSF displaced into spinal thecal sac
– Distensible cerebral veins are compressed
• Further increase in volume will lead to dramatic increase in ICP

CPP/CBF
• CPP is directly dependent upon ICP
– CPP = MAP (– JVP) – ICP
• CBF is dependent upon CPP
– CBF = CPP/CVR (cerebral vascular resistance)
• CVR is proportional to viscosity and 1/r4

Non-compliant brain leads to

SecondaryInjury
CBF is normally maintained at
~50 ml/100g/min.
As CBF drops from 50 to 20
ml/100g/min, oxygen extraction
fraction (OEF) increases, thereby
maintaining normal function
(misery perfusion)
Below 20 ml/100g/min, OEF is
maximized, and CMRO2 (cerebral
metabolic rate for oxygen) drops
(ischemia)
Over time, ischemia becomes
infarction
COPYRIGHT
IndicationsforMonitoring
• TBI:– Salvageable patients with GCS 3-8 (after resuscitation) and abnormal
CT1
– Salvageable patients with GCS 3-8, normal CT, and at least 2 of following: age > 40, unilateral or bilateral posturing, SBP < 901
– Patients with moderate TBI (GCS 9-12) for whom prolonged continuous sedation is necessary
• SAH, ICH, AIS (no clear guidelines):
– Poor grade SAH patients
– SAH patients requiring IA therapy for vasospasm
– Patients with difficult exam / mental status deterioration who are at risk for intracranial hypertension by exam and/or imaging
• Symptomatic hydrocephalus (treatment)
• Fulminant (acute) hepatic failure (debated):– Encephalopathy grade III or IV (marked confusion to coma) with NH3 >
150 umol/L2

MonitoringTechniques
• EVD
– Gold standard, accurate unless occluded, can be recalibrated
– Both diagnostic and therapeutic
– Complications: approximately 1% hemorrhage1, 8% ventriculitis2 by culture
• Intraparenchymal pressure monitors
– Initially accurate, but can develop zero drift, cannot be recalibrated
– Complications: few, but limited data.
– Indications: global cerebral edema with slit-like ventricles, limited duration need (ie intoxicated patient)
• Brain tissue oxygenation
– BOOST 3 pending.
• Jugular venous saturation and microdialysis monitors
– Not currently favored. Research only.

COPYRIGHT
ManagementStrategies
• ICP-guided therapy
– Keep ICP < 20-25 mainly to avoid herniation and low CPP
• CPP-guided therapy
– Increase MAP as needed to keep CPP > 70 in order to maximize CBF
– In a randomized trial, this strategy led to 5-fold increase in ARDS but no change in outcome versus an ICP guided strategy (with CPP > 50)
• PBTO2 Guided
– BOOST 3 pending…

COPYRIGHT
Prevention/Maintenance
• Surgical evacuation of mass lesion
• Neutral head position– Avoid compression of jugular veins
• Head of bed at 30 degrees– Compromise of low ICP when upright and high MAP when flat
– Can optimize in monitored patients
• Euthermia (or mild hypothermia)– Fever raises CMRO2 and disproportionately raises CBF and CBV, and
therefore ICP
• Euglycemia– Hyperglycemia may worsen compliance
• Seizure prophylaxis in selected patients– Seizures increase CMRO2, and convulsive seizures increase ICP via
straining
COPYRIGHT
Prevention/Maintenance
• Euvolemic eunatremia (or mild hypernatremia)– Hypovolemia decreases ICP by decreasing hydrostatic pressure, but also
decreases CPP
– Hyponatremia (excess free water) leads to fluid accumulation in brain due to osmotic gradient
– Using 3% NaCl to drive Na to 145-160 may decrease number of high ICP episodes, but improvement in outcome is unclear
• Normocapnea (but low normal)– Hypocapnea reduces CBF, which lowers ICP but may lead to ischemia and
worse outcomes
– CBF is reduced in first few days after TBI, so hyperventilation should be avoided early
• Sedation and analgesia– Propofol alone or propofol plus fentanyl with the goal of a quiet, motionless
patient
– Bolus opiates can transiently drop MAP and CPP and increase ICP by reflex vasodilation
– Agitation and pain can increase CMRO2 and ICP via straining
