Thematic Analysis of Psychosocial Stressors and Adaptive Coping Strategies Among Informal Caregivers of Patients Surviving ICU Admission for Coma
ConclusionsIn response to substantial stressors, family caregivers of patients with SABI attempted to enact various psychological and behavioral coping strategies. They described avoidance and distraction as less helpful than other coping strategies but had difficulty engaging in alternative strategies because of their emotional distress. These findings can directly inform the development of additional resources to mitigate the long-term impact of acute psychological distress among this caregiver population.

Procalcitonin/Albumin Ratio Predicts the Outcome After Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis
ConclusionsThe PAR might be a novel independent risk factor of the outcome after STBI. Moreover, PAR was a better biomarker in predicting the outcome of patients with STBI than CAR and NLR. (Source: Neurocritical Care)

Early Intraventricular Antibiotic Therapy Improved In-Hospital-Mortality in Neurocritical Patients with Multidrug-Resistant Bacterial Nosocomial Meningitis and Ventriculitis
ConclusionsEarly IVT antibiotics were associated with superior outcomes in terms of the in-hospital mortality rate, time to CSF sterilization, and CSF sterilization rate compared with delayed IVT antibiotics and intravenous antibiotics alone. (Source: Neurocritical Care)

Minimizing Shivering During Targeted Normothermia: Comparison Between Novel Transnasal and Surface Temperature-Modulating Devices
ConclusionsA transnasal cooling approach achieved similar time to normothermia and temperature burden with less shivering than surface cooling. This approach may be a feasible option to consider for mechanically ventilated febrile neurocritical care patients. (Source: Neurocritical Care)

Stellate Ganglion Block and Intraarterial Spasmolysis in Patients with Cerebral Vasospasm: A Retrospective Cohort Study
ConclusionsStellate ganglion block and IAS decreased CBFV the following 24 h in patients with CV. We suggest SGB alone for patients with mild symptomatic CV (CBFV < 180 cm/s), while subsequent escalation to IAS proved to be beneficial in patients with refractory CV and severe CBFV elevation (CBFV ≥ 180 cm/s).

Outcomes After Decompressive Surgery for Severe Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Associated or Not Associated with Vaccine-Induced Immune Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia: A Multicenter Cohort Study
ConclusionsAlthough the prediction of individual courses remains challenging, DS should be considered early in VITT-associated CVST because an overall favorable outcome appears achievable in these patients. (Source: Neurocritical Care)

Fit for Service: Preparing Residents for Neurointensive Care with Entrustable Professional Activities: A Delphi Study
ConclusionsUsing a multistep Delphi process, we defined and established validity evidence for seven EPAs for neurointensive medicine with a high degree of consensus to objectively describe readiness for on-call duty in neurointensive care. This operationalization of pivotal clinical tasks may help to better train clinical residents in neurointensive care across sites and health care systems and has the potential to serve as a blueprint for training in general intensive care medicine. It also represents a starting point for further research and development of medical curricula. (Source: Neurocritical Care)
