Management of ICP is multi-modal
Increased ICP
Head Positioning
Osmotherapy
Sedation and Analgesia
Seizure ControlHypothermia
BP Control
Ventilation
Questions for today
• What makes neurologic patients special?
Some considerations
• What are the steps for intubation?
Intubation as a life-saving intervention
• What is the role of ventilation in neurocritical care?
Ventilation in the NCCU
Part 1: Some considerationsWhat makes neuro patients special?
More patients require intubation in the NCCU
Bhardwaj and Mirski. Handbook of Neurocritical Care 2nd Ed. 2011
The airway is divided into parts
Butterworth et al. Morgan and Mikhail's Clinical Anesthesiology 5th Edition. 2013
Cranial nerves supply the airway
Butterworth et al. 2013
Conditions Requiring Intubation
• Strokes• TBI• Status epilepticus• Encephalopathies• CNS Infections• Hydrocephalus• Cerebral Edema• Neuromuscular disorders
Bhardwaj and Mirski. Handbook of Neurocritical Care 2nd Ed. 2011
Three principles guide intubation
Failure to Protect or Maintain Airway
Failure to Oxygenate or
Ventilate
Anticipate a deteriorating
course

Part 2:A life-saving intervention
RapidSequenceIntubation
RapidSequenceIntubation
PLAN: use LEMON to evaluate difficult airways
L – Look!E – Evaluate the 3-3-2 ruleM – Mallampati ScoreO - ObstructionsN – Neck mobility
Butterworth et al. 2013
POSITION: Extend the neck to align the oro-pharyngo-tracheal axis
PRE-OXYGENATE: An ill patient has 6 minutes to be intubated
Torbey, Michael. Neurocritical Care. 2010
PREPARE: Keep everything within reach
Patients must intubated within 60 seconds

PARALYZE: three classes of drugs are used in RSI
Part 3:Ventilation in the NCCU
Hyperventilation
Hyperventilation induces hypocapnea
Hypocapnea decreases CBF
30
Butterworth et al. . 2013
Decreased CBF decreases ICP
Hyperventilation
How long? How fast?How deep? Which diseases?
Secondary infarction is the most important complication of hyperventilation
Normal: 50mL/100g/min
Stochetti et al. Hyperventilation in Head Injury: A Review. Chest 2012
The meta-analysis did not find sufficient evidence of improved outcomes
What have we learned today?Failure to Protect or
