  • Blood Pressure Why All the Confusion?
  • Electrolytes Spice of Life
  • Antibiotics What bugs are in your home?
  • Seizures No Shaking Necessary
  • VTE Prophylaxis Avoiding the Clots
  • Agitation Wake up Swinging
  • Outcomes Nihilism or Hopefulness

4
  • Breathe Deep

5
Ventilation and Oxygenation Goals
  • Optimize cerebral oxygenation
  • Brain consumes 15 of cardiac output and 20 of
    available O2
  • Hypoxia associated with poor outcome
  • Data supporting oxygen toxicity in critically ill
    patient not compelling
  • Hyperventilation
  • May treat ICP elevations at the cost of CBF
  • Hypoventilation
  • Shifts Hgb-O2 saturation curve, facilitating O2
    delivery and improving PbtO2
  • Is there a role for permissive hypercarbia?

6
Effective Airway Management
  • Maintain or establish patent airway early to
    prevent hypoxemia
  • Tracheostomy?
  • Does it facilitate secretion removal, airway
    management, disposition?
  • Safety PEEP lt 8, FiO2 lt 50, able to lie flat x
    30 min
  • Extubation requirements
  • Can patient oxygenate, ventilate and protect
    airway?
  • Do not have to be awake following commands

7
Pneumonia Risk
  • LOC and EtOH use increase risk of aspiration
  • Risk 26-42
  • Risk factors include - Staph aureus nasal
    carriage, aspiration, barbiturate use
  • Lower PaO2/FiO2 ratio, more febrile days, more
    frequent hypotension, increased ICP

  • Bronchard R et al. Anesthesiology 2004100234-9
  • Goals of care
  • Eliminate risk factors - vent bundles, oral
    care, hygiene
  • Early diagnosis
  • Early and appropriate antibiotic therapy

Specific Outcomes
13
Time to Goal in ICH Patients
  • Nicardipine vs. labetalol
  • 5.1 times as many patients reached goal within 1
    hr with nicardipine as did with labetalol
  • 56 vs 11
  • p 0.02
  • For comparison
  • Nicardipine 14 min to response with 1.5
    adjustments
  • SNP 30.4 min to response with 5.1 adjustments

BP Variability

16
  • Spice of Life

17
Electrolytes
  • Glucose
  • Sodium
  • Determination of volume status is critical
  • Potassium
  • May transiently increase with tissue injury or
    underperfusion
  • Increased filtered/excreted K with elevated
    aldosterone may cause overall K depletion
  • Magnesium
  • Potential neuroprotection
  • Ongoing study

18
Glucose Control
  • Early hyperglycemia associated with poor outcomes
    after stroke
  • Conventional vs. intensive glucose control in
    ischemic stroke and ICH patients
  • Insufficient evidence
  • In TBI, patients with intensive therapy had
    reduced ICP, less frequent seizures, higher KPS _at_
    6 and 12 months
  • Van den Berghe et al. Neurology. 20005641348-53

19
Water Balance
  • Hyponatremia
  • Overall incidence of 7 in ICH and 4.5 in AIS
  • Kusuda K. et al. 1989
  • Iatrogenic
  • Syndrome of Inappropriate ADH (SIADH)
  • Cerebral Salt Wasting (CSW)
  • Misdiagnosis may exacerbate problem
  • Hypernatremia
  • Iatrogenic
  • Diabetes Insipidus (DI)

(No Transcript)
21
Diabetes Insipidus - Central
  • No problemif free access to water
  • If nothypernatremic volume contraction
  • Treatment
  • Replete free water
  • Maintain euvolemia - isotonic fluids
  • Administer vasopressin or desmopressin
  • Avoid offending medications

22
Etiology of Hyponatremia
  • SIADH
  • Increased release of ADH through direct injury,
    hypercapnia, hypoxia, pain, medication effects
  • SIADH
  • Increased release of atrial naturietic factor
  • Renal Na loss

23
Hyponatremia SIADH vs CSW
  • Key difference response to fluid restriction

24
Hyponatremia General Principles
  • Determine severity of symptoms
  • Seizures
  • Abrupt change in LOC
  • Worsening edema or ICP
  • Determine rate of development
  • May be treated more rapidly if acute, rather
    than chronic
  • Assess volume status

25
Hyponatremia Initial Interventions
  • Eliminate sources of free water
  • Check medication solutions
  • If developed rapidly (gt 0.5 mEq/L/hr)
  • May correct _at_ 1-2 mEq/L/hr to achieve Na
    128-130
  • Complete normalization over 1-2 days after
    initial correction
  • Maximum correction 20 mEq/L in 1st 48 hrs

26
SIADH Treatment
  • Acute
  • Fluid restriction?
  • Avoid hypotonic fluids
  • Supplementation saline
  • Furosemide to enhance free water excretion?
  • Follow K closely
  • Conivaptan to enhance free water excretion?
  • Chronic
  • Demeclocycline 300 mg q 6 hrs
  • Fludrocortisone 0.1-0.2-0.3 mg/day

27
CSW Treatment
  • Hydration
  • Saline
  • Fluid restriction will worsen condition

Other Important Equations
  • knowledge power
  • time money
  • power work / time
  • ? knowledge work / money
  • Solving for money, money work / knowledge
  • Thus money approaches 8 as knowledge approaches
    0, regardless of the work done
  • Or, the less you know, the more you make

30
  • What bugs are in your home?

31
Rational Antibiotic Therapy
  • Every ICU has its own biogram -- ask!
  • Organ and Tissue Donation Policy
  • Brain Death Protocols
  • Donation after Cardiac Death Policy
  • No evidence to support empiric antibiotics
  • If clinical indications of infection, culture
    then start antibiotics based on biogram
  • Believe your cultures
  • If negative -- stop antibiotics
  • If positive -- narrow spectrum of antibiotics
  • Duration of therapy?

32
ID Issues
33
Suggested Empiric Regimens
Increasing incidence of multi-drug resistant
bacteria
Rational antibiotic use Narrow coverage whenever
possible Set duration of therapy
34
  • No Shaking Necessary

35
Incidence of Seizuresafter Ischemic Stroke
  • 2-6 incidence of seizure after stroke
  • 22-27 as status epilepticus
  • Lobar strokes more likely than others?
  • No relation to stroke severity (NIHSS)
  • Seizures not predictive of outcome
  • No influence on mortality

36
Incidence of Seizures afterIntracerebral
Hemorrhage
  • 11.2 (n 14) had documented seizures before or
    while in the ED
  • Demographic and presenting clinical features
    similar between the seizure and non-seizure groups

Clinical Features
39
Outcome
  • Having a seizure unrelated to presenting and
    discharge GCS and GOS
  • Seizures unrelated to mortality
  • 12 (11/91) of survivors
  • 9 (3/34) of those dying before discharge

40
Antiseizure Prophylaxis
  • Data insufficient to support recommendation
  • No AAN practice parameter
  • Expectant management

41
Concerns re Prophylaxis
  • Side effects
  • Cognitive impairment
  • Myelosuppression
  • Liver dysfunction
  • Dermatological

42
  • Avoiding the Clots

43
DVT Prophylaxis after Stroke
  • Prospective study, 1762 patients w/ stroke
  • Randomized within 48 hours of stroke for 10 d
  • Enoxaparin 40 mg SQ qd
  • Unfractionated heparin 5000 units SQ q12h
  • Similar symptomatic ICH (1)
  • Results
  • Increase in major extracranial bleeding
  • Enoxaparin reduced risk of VTE by 43

Sherman DG et al. Lancet. 20073691347-55
44
DVT Prophylaxis after ICH
  • No randomized trials of prophylactic
    anticoagulants
  • Intermittent pneumatic compression devices better
    than elastic stockings alone
  • Lacut K et al. Neurology. 200565865-9
  • Anticoagulation for DVT appears safe
  • Kelly J et al. Stroke. 2003342999-3005

45
  • Wake up Swinging

46
ICU Agitation
  • Subtype of delirium
  • Characterized by excessive behaviors
  • Aggression
  • Disinhibition
  • Emotional lability
  • Motor disturbances

47
Etiology
  • Medical factors
  • Infection, metabolic, pain
  • Neurological factors

  • Altered reactive response to stimuli
  • Multiple cortical, subcortical brainstem
    systems

  • Catecholamines, serotonin, acetylcholine
  • Alterations in sleep-wake cycles

48
Pharmacological Management
  • Acute safety issues
  • Long-term management
  • Symptom guided treatment
  • Aggression -- serotonin
