SCCM Resource Library-Can't Get You Out of My Head: Invasive Monitoring in Pediatric Neurocritical Care

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Karen Reuter-Rice introduces Dr. David Adelson, a well-respected neurosurgeon and the director of the Barrow Neurologic Institute at Phoenix Children's Hospital. Dr. Adelson discusses the topic of invasive monitoring in pediatric neurocritical care. He acknowledges that trauma and traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain the leading cause of death and disability in children and highlights the need for better monitoring and standardized studies in this area. Dr. Adelson emphasizes the complexity of brain injury and the limitations of current monitoring parameters such as intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP). He suggests that a more individualized and comprehensive approach to monitoring is needed, incorporating both invasive and non-invasive techniques. He mentions the potential of measures such as brain oxygen monitoring and electroencephalography (EEG) in providing real-time information about brain function and secondary insults. Dr. Adelson stresses the importance of early detection and prevention of secondary brain injury, such as hypoxia and ischemia, and calls for further research and advancements in data analytics and artificial intelligence to improve outcomes in pediatric neurocritical care. He concludes by highlighting the need for a more personalized approach to monitoring and therapy, based on a deeper understanding of the complex nature of brain injury.
