Cerebral Edema and Elevated Intracranial Pressure (2018) Matthew A. Koenig

Description

This article reviews the management of cerebral edema, elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), and cerebral herniation syndromes in neurocritical care. The review discusses tailoring treatment based on pathophysiologic processes, distinguishing management for focal lesions (surgical decompression) versus global/multifocal brain injury (protocolized medical and surgical interventions).
