SCCM Resource Library-Go B.I.G. or Go Home: How the Brain Injury Guidelines Will Impact Your ICUs!

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This presentation discusses the utilization of brain injury guidelines in the management of traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. The presentation highlights the need to incorporate non-traumatic cranial hemorrhage guidelines to improve ICU care and capacity. The objectives covered include understanding how these guidelines can improve resource utilization, addressing barriers in their development and integration, and exploring their impact on standards of care and capacity improvement. The presentation discusses a retrospective study of over 3,800 patients with blunt trauma, where guidelines were developed based on anticoagulation, intoxicants, and CT findings. The guidelines classify patients into three categories based on injury type, location, size, and therapeutic plan. The study showed that the majority of brain injury patients can be managed by acute care surgeons without overburdening neurosurgical resources. The presentation also describes the adaptation of these guidelines in a large healthcare system with multiple hospitals. The guidelines helped reduce unnecessary transfers and consultations, improving standards of care and generating cost savings. Future steps include standardizing documentation and communication, expanding initiatives, and addressing capacity during the pandemic.
