    EVD tips and tricks

    Catherine Bell takes us through how to troubleshoot problems commonly encountered when looking after patients who have an external ventricular drain (EVD) in situ. Issues with using brain tissue oxygen monitors are also discussed. A highly practical session aimed at bedside clinicians. This presentation was delivered by Catherine Bell at CODA2022.

    aSAH: Dilating the Dogma of Vasospasm

    Angiographic vasospasm and more accurately, delayed cerebral ischemia, continue to contribute to morbidity and mortality in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). It is known that angiographic vasospasm is common after SAH, occurring in two-thirds of patients. This presentation was delivered by Rob Loch MacDonald at CODA2022. Want more content about aSAH?

    Subarachnoid Haemorrhage: a patient and family experience

    Lizzy suffered a substantial aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage that left her critically unwell, requiring a long stay in intensive care recovering from the consequences and complications of this devastating form of stroke. Now a couple of years after her haemorrhage, Lizzy has come so far. She and her husband Gordon describe their experiences, right from the day it all began and through those tumultuous first few weeks, to where she is today. This open and honest account gives us all invaluable insight into what it’s like to go through the subarachnoid haemorrhage journey from a patient and family’s perspective, hopefully helping us empathise more and deliver better patient-centred care. This podcast was recorded at the Brain Symposium which took place in March 2023.

    Brain Tissue Oxygen Monitoring - The Bonanza Trial (It’s Not What You’ve Got It’s What You Do With It)

    Andrew Udy talks about the ongoing BONANZA Trial which is assessing whether an algorithm that incorporates both ICP and brain tissue oxygen (PbTO2) can improve outcomes after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Like with all monitoring, how the PbTO2 is interpreted and managed is critical and the devil is in the detail!

    Ketamine for Brain Injury

    Historically, when it came to brain injury, ketamine had a bad rap. Much of that dogma was dispelled in the last 20 years, and ketamine is now frequently used as an induction agent in acute brain injury, especially traumatic brain injury, partially due to the favorable effects on haemodynamics.  However a new application of ketamine is now being explored - whether ketamine may be able to reduce secondary brain injury. In this talk Toby Jeffcote initially takes us through all the sedatives currently used in brain injury and the evidence to support their use. He then covers the history of ketamine use and the background to new research in use as a therapeutic agent. This podcast was recorded at the Brain Symposium which took place in March 2023.

    Cortical Spreading Depolarisation in Neurological Disease - An Introduction

    Cortical spreading depolarization (CSD) is a spreading loss of ion homeostasis, altered vascular response, change in synaptic architecture, and subsequent depression in electrical activity following an inciting neurological injury. This presentation was delivered by Toby Jeffcote at CODA2022. Want more content about CSD? Visit neuroresus.com or subscribe to be notified of new podcast releases via email.

    There is no such thing as mild, moderate and severe TBI

    Andrew Chow vs Andrew Udy  This debate was set up to discuss the issues with categorising traumatic brain injury (TBI). The current system using GCS to divide patients into mild, moderate and severe has been criticised in recent times, with calls for a more nuanced approach. The debate was a just bit of fun but does highlight the key issues. Chowie didn’t get to choose which side to argue for :) Andrew Chow, Intensivist with a neurosurgical background, argues that the current categorisation system for TBI works, and makes sense! He tackles us through the history of this system, and why it’s important to differentiate different types of TBI. The arguments in favour of this categorisation include the consistency and benefits of a universal language, the implications for triage and management, and the fact that this system has been endorsed by all major organisations. Andrew Udy then argues that this classification is fundamentally flawed. He discusses the issues with the Glasgow Coma Scale, and therefore the follow-on issues in TBI classification, including all the confounders to the GCS, the issues with timing of the score as well as GCS not taking baseline function or specifics subtypes of TBI into account. He makes the argument that biomarkers may better categorise the diffuse entity we call TBI. This podcast was recorded at the Brain Symposium which took place in March 2023.
