Brain ultrasonography can be used to evaluate cerebral anatomy and pathology, as well as
cerebral circulation through analysis of blood flow velocities. Transcranial colour-coded …

In the unconscious patient, there is a diagnostic void between the neurologic physical exam,
and more invasive, costly and potentially harmful investigations. Transcranial color-coded …

Objective Assess optimal equation to noninvasively estimate intracranial pressure (eICP)
and cerebral perfusion pressure (eCPP) following severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) using …

Multimodality monitoring is a common practice in caring for neurocritically ill patients, and
consists mainly in clinical assessment, intracranial pressure monitoring and using several …

Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography is an inexpensive, noninvasive means of
measuring blood flow within the arteries of the brain. In this review, the authors outline the …

Background Monitoring the injured brain is an integral part of the management of severely
brain injured patients in intensive care. Brain-specific monitoring techniques enable focused …

Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography is a noninvasive ultrasound study, which has
been extensively applied on both outpatient and inpatient settings. It involves the use of a …

Over the past two decades it has been increasingly recognized that whole-body ultrasound
is an invaluable tool in the critically ill. In addition to offering rapid whole-body assessment, it …

Traumatic death remains pandemic. The majority of preventable deaths occur early and are
due to injuries or physiologic derangements in the airway, thoracoabdominal cavities, or …

Objective Barbiturate therapy or hypothermia precludes proper diagnosis of brain death
either clinically or by EEG. Specific intracranial flow patterns indicating cerebral circulatory …
