A pooled analysis from the PRIME database reveals distinct ventilatory management patterns and ARDS incidence in neurocritical versus non-neurocritical patients, highlighting key associations between ventilator settings and outcomes.
This review synthesizes national data from Spain (2015-2024) revealing a decline in brain death donation (DBD) offset by growth in controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD), alongside evolving neurocritical care practices influenci
A post hoc BOOST II analysis found that many bedside-labeled intracranial pressure crises were not confirmed by continuous electronic data, challenging current ICP episode definitions in severe traumatic brain injury.
The EDESTROKE trial finds no significant difference in 90-day functional outcomes between early (<6h) and delayed (6-12h) extubation post-thrombectomy, shifting focus toward microvascular and hemodynamic optimization.
This article synthesizes evidence from a large-scale individual participant data meta-analysis, demonstrating that early perihematomal edema growth (at 24 and 72 hours) is an independent predictor of death and disability after intracerebral
A prospective study demonstrates that rising levels of plasma GFAP and NfL precede neuroimaging-confirmed brain injury in children on ECMO. These biomarkers are also strongly associated with mortality and long-term functional impairment, of
The FASTEST trial demonstrated that while recombinant factor VIIa administered within two hours of intracerebral haemorrhage onset significantly reduced hematoma growth, it failed to improve functional outcomes at 180 days and increased the
In the NEUROTHERM randomized pharmacodynamic trial, a single IV dose of paracetamol reduced intracerebral temperature by a mean 0.6°C in febrile brain‑injured patients and kept temperatures <38.5°C for a median 3.6 hours versus virtually
A Cochrane update (2025) of 69 randomized trials found restrictive RBC transfusion thresholds (typically Hb 7–8 g/dL) cut transfusion exposure ~42% without increasing 30‑day mortality overall, but liberal strategies improved long‑term neuro
