This is a prospective cohort based observational study including 40 patients admitted in the adult ICU at our center diagnosed as either a case of TBI/ acute stroke/ intracranial hemorrhages with a mean screening ONSD of more than 5mm under mannitol osmotherapy. ONSD were measured by a high
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of HPC, Cord Blood (administered via intravenous infusion and intrathecal injection, or intravenous infusion in conjunction with mannitol for subjects unable to tolerate intrathecal injection) in subjects with acute ischemic stroke. The
A total of 80 patients with acute large hemispheric infarction (LHI) within 48h after occurrence admitted into NICU of Xuanwu Hospital as well as 40 healthy volunteers will be recruited. The patients' baseline characteristics, treatment and changes of clinical conditions will be recorded, and ICP
MCA Stroke is a fatal disease with reported mortality of about 80% of cases without decompressive craniectomy. Osmotic agents like hypertonic saline & mannitol have been used in acute MCA stroke cases without no evidence of benefit. Its use in elevated ICP can be only justified as a bridge to the
Osmotherapy is commonly used in the treatment of intracranial hypertension (ICH) due to a variety of causes, including head trauma, intracranial neoplasia, infection or hemorrhage, and status epilepticus. The principle goal of osmotherapy is to shift fluid from the intracellular into the
Patients meeting inclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study and randomized into one of the two group's propofol - P and isoflurane - I. Preoperative Glasgow coma scale (GCS) and computer tomography (CT) findings will be recorded. Intraoperatively peripheral intravenous line will be secured,
Malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (MMCI) has a fatality rate of up to 80%, due to massive brain edema, increased intracranial pressure, and cerebral herniation. The herniation-induced death usually occured during the first week, despite aggressive osmotherapy with mannitol or hypertonic
Once eligibility criteria are met, patients will be randomized to either dantrolene-IV or placebo (equiosmolar, volume-equivalent sterile water with 5% mannitol as dantrolene-IV also contains 5% mannitol). Study subjects will be visited daily by a study nurse to determine side effects, tolerability,
PREOPERATIVE NEUROPSYCHIATRIC & NEUROLOGIC TESTING Up to thirty days before the scheduled elective surgical repair of his or her intracranial aneurysm, each patient will undergo neuropsychological examination by a neuropsychologist or psychometrician and assessment of neurologic status by a research
Cognitive and neurological dysfunction after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) is common and multi-factorial in origin. Causative factors include cerebral Embolization (1), cerebral ischemia reperfusion (2), cerebral hyperthermia after discontinuation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) (3), and the
Raised intracranial pressure occurs following an expansion of an intracranial mass e.g. hematoma or brain tumor and if left untreated, can lead to brain ischemia, stroke and death.
Strategies for reducing raised intracranial pressure include hyperventilation, use of a hyperosmolar agent and the
