Multimodal Neuromonitoring
Theoretical Framework & Background Cortical spreading depressions (CSD) and seizures, are crucial in the development of delayed cerebral ischemia and poor functional outcome in patients suffering from acute brain injuries such as subarachnoid hemorrhage. Multimodal neuromonitoring (MMNM) provides the unique possibility in the sedated and mechanically ventilated patients to record …
Clinical Analysis of Early Hormones Between Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury and Cerebral Hemorrhage
Our understanding of neurosecretory dysfunction after TBI is still insufficient, and the number of patients with neuroendocrine dysfunction caused by craniocerebral trauma may be underestimated, especially the neuroendocrine changes related to HPA axis in the early stage after craniocerebral trauma. Moreover, there are few and fragmentary literature data on the …
Heart Rate Variability in Early Prediction of a Noxic Brain Injury After Cardiac Arrest
Despite advances in post-resuscitation care of patients with cardiac arrest (CA), the majority of survivors who are treated after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) will have sequelae of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury ranging from mild cognitive impairment to a vegetative state. Early prognostication in comatose patients after ROSC remains challenging. Recent …
Multi-channel Time-resolved Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy for Prevention of Perioperative Brain Injury
Covert stroke occurs in one out of fourteen patients during or shortly after surgery, and may result in long-term disability. Fortunately, stroke that occurs during non-cardiac surgery is most commonly caused by inadequate blood flow to the brain and is, therefore, preventable if it can be detected early. Current clinical …
Prognostic Factors to Regain Consciousness
The study aims to identify factors that predict the medium and long-term outcome of patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) undergoing early neurological rehabilitation. In this prospective, observational study, 130 DOC patients are going to be included (36 months). At study entry, different routine data, disease severity and functional status …
Register Study: Implementation of Pharyngeal Electrostimulation Therapy for the Treatment of Acute Neurogenic Dysphagia
Neurogenic dysphagia occurs with disruption of neurological systems or processes involved in the execution of coordinated and safe swallowing. It is common in patients with neurological diseases, in particular in patients treated in Intensive Care Units (ICU) who are intubated (up to 62%) and / or tracheotomised (up to 83%). …
Observational Study on Energy Expenditure and Protein Metabolism Changes in Patients With Severe Brain Injury.
Evaluation of early energy metabolism and muscle mass changes in patients with severe brain injury, the impact of nutritional therapy on metabolism and muscle mass, and their relationship with patient prognosis, to provide clinical research references for the implementation of individualized nutritional therapy in patients with severe brain injury.
mTBI Identification and Monitoring Through Retinal Scanning
Rebion has developed a device, the Rebion trauma tool (referred to as the head and intraocular trauma tool, or "HITT"), that detects ocular fixation and alignment using a binocular retinal scan. Preliminary data obtained from hospitalized patients with a clinically-confirmed traumatic brain injury (TBI) and uninjured controls indicates that the …
Targeting Osteosarcopaenia and Multimorbidity for Frailty Prevention
The aging population and its accompanying burden from non-communicable chronic diseases predicts an increasing impact imposed by frailty on healthcare systems. This is due to a lack of normative data for older adults and reliable risk stratification methods to develop effective approaches to the prevention of frailty. In this study, …
Improving Diagnosis and Prediction of Outcome in Patients With Severe Disorders of Consciousness
Patients with acute severe brain injury are usually admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. A substantial proportion of these patients will have disorders of consciousness (DOC) after interruption of sedation. It is difficult to reliably predict neurological outcome in these patients. Dependent on the extent of permanently damaged brain areas, …
