Management of intracranial pressure
Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2009Although intracranial hypertension may arise from diverse pathology, several basic principles remain paramount to understanding its dynamics; however, the management of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) may be very complex. Initial management of common ICP exacerbants is important, such as addressing venous outflow obstruction with upright midline ...

Topical negative pressure for pressure ulcer management
British Journal of Nursing, 2002The use of negative pressure therapy has been reported previously in a variety of care settings, but not in spinal cord-injured (SCI) patients. These individuals are at greatly increased risk of pressure ulcer development because of many factors associated with their neurological deficit and the incidence of pressure ulcers is high among them.

Surgical Management of Pressure Ulcers
Nursing Clinics of North America, 1987Prior to closure of pressure ulcers, the patient's wound must be clean, and he must be in a stable condition. Closure involves rotating flaps of muscle and skin into the wound. Maintaining adequate blood supply to the flap and teaching the patient how to prevent new ulcers are the foci of post-operative care.

Management of Intracranial Pressure
Continuum, 2015Intracranial pressure (ICP) can be elevated in traumatic brain injury, large artery acute ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, intracranial neoplasms, and diffuse cerebral disorders such as meningitis, encephalitis, and acute hepatic failure. Raised ICP is also known as intracranial hypertension and is defined as a sustained ICP of greater than 20

The Effective Management of Pressure Ulcers
Advances in Skin & Wound Care, 2006The challenges of managing pressure ulcers are often not limited to clinical decisions; they may impact other areas that encompass patient care, including financial, emotional, psychosocial, regulatory, and medical-legal aspects. The difficulty in managing these complex factors is magnified by recent gains in understanding of the pathophysiology of ...

Pressure ulcers: Prevention and management
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2019Prevention has been a primary goal of pressure ulcer research. Despite such efforts, pressure ulcers remain common in hospitals and in the community. Moreover, pressure ulcers often become chronic wounds that are difficult to treat and that tend to recur after healing.

Managing elevated intracranial pressure
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2004Elevated intracranial pressure is one of the major deteriorating factors in patients with intracerebral lesions. Therefore, every year many experimental and clinical studies are performed to identify the best method for managing elevated intracranial pressure in head-injured patients. The current review summarizes the most important recent findings for

Blood pressure management in stroke
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2012Cerebrovascular disease is a common cause of death and disability worldwide. The current literature supports an association between blood pressure (BP) and patient outcome during acute stroke. This review will provide an overview of the evidence to guide BP management during acute stroke.Hypotension and hypertension are correlated with poor outcome in ...

Neurotrauma and Intracranial Pressure Management
Critical Care Clinics, 2023Although intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring has been the mainstay of traumatic brain injury (TBI) management for decades, new understanding of TBI physiopathology calls for paradigm shifts. The complexity of TBI management precludes ICP being taken as an isolated value with a specific threshold.
