1 Treating Elevated ICP in the TBI Patient Andrew Asimos, MD Director of Emergency Stroke Care Neuroscience and Spine Institute Carolinas Medical Center, Charlotte, NC Adjunct Associate Professor, Department of Emergency Medicine University of North Carolina School of Medicine at Chapel Hill Attending Physician Emergency Medicine Carolinas Medical Center Department of Emergency Medicine Charlotte, NC Session Objectives Present a relevant patient case State key clinical questions Outline the procedure for treating elevated ICP A Clinical Case 1
2 Clinical History 18 year old male non-helmeted skateboarder, struck his head on driveway Closest L1TC one hour by helicopter Being taken to non-trauma center ED Prehospital care: IV, O 2 via NRB mask, monitor Intermittently combative Attempting immobilization Physical Exam / pulse ox 95% Gen: Intermittently agitated Head: Scalp abraisions, soft tissue selling over R temporal-parietal region, hemotympanum Face: Several abrasions Eyes: 4 mm, equal, reactive Physical Exam Chest: BSBE, no crepitus Cardiac: Tachycardia without murmur Abd: Soft, FAST negative Pelvis: Stable to compression Ext: No long bone deformity, abrasions Neurologic Exam Motor: Withdraws to painful stimuli, no posturing, no pathological reflexes Eyes: Open to painful stimuli, PERL Verbal: Perseverating speech Sensory: No sensory level Provisional Diagnosis Moderate to Severe TBI GCS Score 9-10 Key Clinical Questions In the setting of acute TBI, what are the clinical signs and symptoms of increased ICP? What imaging findings suggest impending herniation syndrome in the TBI patient? How should patients with suspected increased ICP in the setting of TBI be managed? What are the roles for the following therapies in the setting of suspected increased ICP: mannitol, hyperventilation, steroids, seizure prophylaxis, and skull trephination? 2
3 Initial CT Treating Elevated ICP in the TBI Patient : Key Clinical Concepts ICP Detection Pearls VS don t change until late in the clinical course of increased ICP and herniation Signs and symptoms of increased ICP in TBI GCS score of 8 or less Decreased level of consciousness Cranial nerve findings Eye exam is key CT scans showing ventricle or cistern abnormalities, or midline shift Eye Examination in Suspected Increased ICP Pupillary Findings Unilaterally dilated 6 th nerve palsy Loss of upward gaze Midposition and fixed Extremely miotic pupils Bilaterally dilated and poorly responsive Clinical Significance Ipsilateral lesion, increased ICP May be first sign of ICP rise Increased ICP compressing pretectal area against the posterior tentorial incisura Sympathetic and parasympathetic failure at the midbrain Pontine lesion or narcotic overdose Sympathetic overactivity from catecholamines or anticholinergic medications Bilaterally fixed & dilated Markedly elevated ICP or brain death Papilledema Rarely present in the acute phase of TBI Brain Herniation Cranial contents compartmentalized by a layering of dura mater Folding dura forms distinct brain compartments Falx cerebri separates 2 hemispheres Tentorium cerebelli separates infratentorial structures from supratentorial structures Expansion of IC contents limited by skull and these compartments Transtentorial Herniation Brain traverses tentorium at the level of the incisura Divided into Descending Largest category Mass effect in the cerebrum pushes supratentorial brain through incisura to the posterior fossa Ascending Mass effect in posterior fossa leads to brain extending through the incisura in an upward 3
4 Central Transtentorial Herniation Causes Diffuse and severe TBI swelling Centrally located, supratentorial masses Thalamic hemorrhage Lesions of the frontal, parietal, & occipital lobes Downward movement of the diencephalon and rostral midbrain through the tentorial notch Diagnosing Central Transtentorial Herniation Progressive rostrocaudal deterioration of brainstem function 1. Compression of diencephalic structures causes lethargy, apathy, or confusion 2. Loss of upward gaze due to compression of the diencepahlic pretectal area against the posterior tentorial incisura 3. Extensor plantar responses, paratonia, ipsilateral decortication, contralateral decerebration 4. Pupils dilate to midposition because of sympathetic and parasympathetic dysfuction 5. Hyperventilation 6. Decerebrate rigidity 7. Autonomic dysregulation VS do not change until late Uncal Herniation Associated with supratentorial masses and masses in the temporal fossa Subdural or epidural hematoma, large MCA stroke, temporal lobe tumor Medial portion of the temporal lobe (uncus) displaces over the tentorial notch Causing compression of Ipsilateral oculomotor nerve and brainstem compression Occasionally the ipsilateral PCA Diagnosing Uncal Herniation Classically, a stepwise progression 1. Early clinical sign is dilatation of the ipsilateral pupil Compression of the parasympathetic fibers traveling on the periphery of the third nerve 2. Loss of the light reflex, ipsilateral ptosis, down and out eye Patient may be surprisingly alert 3. Contralateral hemiparesis Compression of the ipsilateral cerebral peducle against the free edge of the tentorium Rarely ipsilateral hemiparesis (Kernohan s phenomenon) 4. Consciousness deteriorates Midbrain compession, sometimes associated hemorrhage, with compromise of the ascending portion of the RAS 5. Bilateral pupillary dilation Changes in VS may not occur until just prior to fatal herniation Respiratory changes and bradycardia Descending Transtentorial Herniation Imaging Findings of Descending Transtentorial Herniations Clinical Findings Ipsilateral dilated pupil Contralateral hemiparesis Ipsilateral hemiparesis if Kernohan s Notch is present (false localizer) Imaging Findings Contralateral temporal horn widening Ipsilateral ambient cistern widening Ipsilateral prepontine cistern widening Complications Occipital infarct from posterior cerebral artery compression Durette hemorrhage Uncus extending into the suprasellar cistern 4
5 Imaging Findings of Uncal Herniation Right Uncal Herniation Usual six pointed star appearance of the suprasellar cistern Truncated suprasellar cistern on the ipsilateral side of the herniation Descending Transtentorial Shift to the Left Durette Hemorrhage: A Complication of Descending Transtentorial Herniation Featured Procedures or Protocols Treatment protocol for the management of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) Skull trephination for the management of suspected uncal herniation due to an expanding epidural hematoma Elevated ICP Therapy: The Procedure 5

Elevated ICP Rx Procedure Evaluate globally all resuscitation needs Initial Management No Standards or Guidelines Options Complete and rapid physiologic resuscitation No specific treatment for intracranial hypertension in the absence of signs of transtentorial herniation or progressive neurologic deterioration not attributable to extracranial explanations Hypoxia and Hypotension in TBI Insult # Pts % Total Outcome % G-M S-V Dead Total Neither Hypoxia Hypotension Both Elevated ICP Rx Procedure Evaluate globally all resuscitation needs Do not provide prophylactic osmotherapy Do not use prophylactic hyperventilation Chesnut RM et al. J Trauma 34(2):216-22, 1993 Feb. 6
7 Mannitol Standards There are insufficient data to support a treatment standard for the use of mannitol Guidelines Mannitol is effective for control of raised ICP after severe head injury Effective doses range from 0.25 g/kg body weight to 1 gm/kg body weight Mannitol Options The indications for the use of mannitol prior to ICP monitoring are signs of transtentorial herniation or progressive neurological deterioration not attributable to extracranial explanations Avoid hypovolemia by fluid replacement Intermittent boluses may be more effective than continuous infusion Mannitol Appropriate dosing range in the ED is g/kg administered wide open The Cochrane Review concludes highdose mannitol (1.4 g/kg) appears to be preferable to conventional-dose mannitol in the pre-operative management of patients with acute intracranial hematomas Elevated ICP Rx Procedure Evaluate globally all resuscitation needs Do not provide prophylactic osmotherapy Do not use prophylactic hyperventilation Roberts I et al. Mannitol for acute traumatic brain injury. Cochrane Injuries Group Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews Hyperventilation Standards In the absence of increased ICP, chronic prolonged hyperventilation therapy (PaCO2 <25 mm Hg) should be avoided after severe traumatic brain injury Guidelines The use of prophylactic hyperventilation (PaCO2 <35 mm Hg) therapy during the first 24 hours after severe traumatic brain injury should be avoided because it can compromise CPP during a time when CBF is reduced Hyperventilation Options Hyperventilation therapy may be necessary for brief periods When there is acute neurologic deterioration For longer periods if there is intracranial hypertension refractory to sedation, paralysis, cerebrospinal fluid drainage, and osmotic diuretics 7
8 Elevated ICP Rx Procedure Evaluate globally all resuscitation needs Do not provide prophylactic osmotherapy Do not use prophylactic hyperventilation Consider seizure prophylaxis Seizure Prophylaxis Standards Prophylactic use of phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital or valproate is not recommended for preventing late post-traumatic seizures Guidelines None Seizure Prophylaxis Options It is recommended as a treatment option that anticonvulsants may be used to prevent early posttraumatic seizures in patients at high risk for seizures following head injury Phenytoin and carbamazepine have been demonstrated to be effective in preventing early post-traumatic seizures Available evidence does not indicate that prevention of early post-traumatic seizures improves outcome following head injury Elevated ICP Rx Procedure Evaluate globally all resuscitation needs Do not provide prophylactic osmotherapy Do not use prophylactic hyperventilation Consider seizure prophylaxis Do not use steroids Steroids Standards The use of steroids is not recommended for improving outcome or reducing ICP in patients with severe TBI Guidelines None Options None Steroids Conclusions In the absence of a meta-analysis, we feel most weight should be placed on the result of the largest trial The increase in mortality with steroids in this trial suggest that steroids should no longer be routinely used in people with traumatic head injury Alderson P, Roberts I.
