Neurological injuries can result in loss of static and dynamic cerebral auto regulation. Failure of auto regulations can cause secondary brain injury by ischemia, excito-toxicity, neuro-inflammation and cellular apoptosis. Secondary injury can lead to worse outcome in critically ill patients. Secondary neurological injury can also occur as a result of other organ system dysfunction. The advent of newer modalities of monitoring of critically ill patients is changing the paradigm of patient care in neurological ICUs. These include non-invasive monitoring like blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, Video EEG, TCDs, near infra-red spectroscopy, neuro imaging; and invasive monitoring including invasive hemodynamic monitoring, intracranial pressure monitoring, cerebral blood flow monitoring, cerebral oxygen perfusion and cerebral metabolic function monitoring, cerebral micro dialysis, digital subtraction angiography etc. The interplay of all these modalities gives a comprehensive understanding brain physiology and auto regulation; and can be utilized in preventing secondary brain injury in critically ill patients and improve outcomes.
In this Research Topic, we are seeking manuscripts (including original research articles, reviews, viewpoints and exceptional case reports) highlighting various tools of multi modal monitoring and cerebral auto regulation monitoring and their application in management and prognostication of critically ill patients with primary neurological disorders.
We welcome articles directed towards but not limited to following topics:
- Advancements in multimodal monitoring and machine learning in Neurological ICU.
- Indication of invasive ICP monitoring and it’s utility in prediction and management of secondary neurological injury.
- Neuro-imaging and neuro-intervention in Neuro-ICU.
- Role of VEEG monitoring in neuro-ICU.
- Evolving paradigm on management of subarachnoid hemorrhage and TBI.
- Updates on metobolomic profiling in neurocritical care.
- Role of cerebral blood flow and oxygen monitoring in predicting secondary neurological injury.
- Importance of traditional bedside exams in Neuro-ICU.
