Failure Mode and Effect Analysis: Engineering Safer Neurocritical Care Transitions
ConclusionsApplication of the FMEA approach yielded meaningful and sustained process change for patients with neurocritical care needs. Utilization of FMEA as a change instrument for quality improvement is a powerful tool for programs looking to improve timely communication, resource utilization, and ultimately patient safety.

The Association Between Arterial Oxygen Level and Outcome in Neurocritically Ill Patients is not Affected by Blood Pressure
ConclusionsDuring the first 24 h of ICU treatment in mechanically ventilated brain injured patients, the association between PaO2 and mortality was not different in patients with low compared to normal MAP.

Sustained Low-Efficiency Dialysis is Associated with Worsening Cerebral Edema and Outcomes in Intracerebral Hemorrhage
ConclusionsSLED treatment in ICH patients with CKD was associated with significant increase in rate and frequency of PHE expansion. Absolute increase in PHE during 48-h post-ICH was associated with increased mortality and worse functional outcomes. Further prospective and multicenter evaluation is needed to differentiate the effects of RRT on hematoma dynamics and patient outcomes from those attributed to CKD.

Association of Epileptiform Abnormality on Electroencephalography with Development of Epilepsy After Acute Brain Injury
ConclusionsEAs on cEEG in patients with ABI are associated with a greater than three-fold increased risk of new-onset epilepsy. cEEG findings in ABI may therefore be a useful risk stratification tool for assessing long-term risk of seizures and serve as a biomarker for new-onset epilepsy.

Effect of Race –Ethnicity and CT Angiography on Renal Injury During Blood Pressure Treatment for Intracerebral Hemorrhage
ConclusionWe found no association between race –ethnicity or CTA and AKI during the acute management of ICH in a real-life stroke population. Our findings suggest that CTA can be safely obtained in acute ICH, even in populations of diverse race–ethnicity who may be more prone to adverse kidney events. CTA did not contribute to developing AKI .

Prothrombin Complex Concentrate for Emergent Reversal of Intracranial Hemorrhage in Patients with Ventricular Assist Devices
ConclusionsOur limited series found no thromboembolic complications immediately following anticoagulation reversal with PCC prior to resumption of anticoagulation. LDH trends may be useful to monitor thromboembolic risk after reversal.

Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants for the Treatment of Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis: a Retrospective, Matched Cohort Analysis
ConclusionsThe safety and efficacy results of NOAC use for CVT were similar to those for age-matched and sex-matched controls treated with VKAs, as well as historical published controls. Assessment of NOAC efficacy and safety in CVT in multicenter cohort studies and randomized controlled trials is warranted.

Inflammasome Caspase-1 Activity is Elevated in Cerebrospinal Fluid After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and Predicts Functional Outcome
ConclusionsInflammasome-derived caspase-1 activity is elevated in the CSF of SAH patients compared to controls and higher levels correlate with worse functional outcome.

The Effect of Data Length on the Assessment of Dynamic Cerebral Autoregulation with Transfer Function Analysis in Neurological ICU Patients
ConclusionsConsidering the acceptable rates for the data and the variation in the TFA variables (phase shift and gain), we recommend recording data for a minimum length of 7 min for TFA in patients in the neuro-ICU.

Taking a Chance to Recover: Families Look Back on the Decision to Pursue Tracheostomy After Severe Acute Brain Injury
ConclusionsAfter SABI, prognostic uncertainty almost transcends the concept of choice. Families who proceeded with a tracheostomy saw it as the only option at the time. High-quality communication may mitigate the stress surrounding this high-stakes decision.

Neuronal Swelling: A Non-osmotic Consequence of Spreading Depolarization
AbstractAn acute reduction in plasma osmolality causes rapid uptake of water by astrocytes but not by neurons, whereas both cell types swell as a consequence of lost blood flow (ischemia). Either hypoosmolality or ischemia can displace the brain downwards, potentially causing death. However, these disorders are fundamentally different at the cellular level. Astrocytes osmotically swell or shrink because they express functional water channels (aquaporins), whereas neurons lack functional aquaporins and thus maintain their volume. Yet both neuronsand astrocytes immediately swell when blood flow to the brain is compromised (c...

Size-Related Differences in Computed Tomography Markers of Hematoma Expansion in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage
ConclusionsThe prevalence of NCCT markers and their association with HE differed according to hematoma volume. Quantitative hematoma density was associated with HE, regardless of hematoma size.

Development and Evaluation of a Method for Automated Detection of Spreading Depolarizations in the Injured Human Brain
ConclusionsDespite significant undersensitivity, there was no additional loss of sensitivity at high SD counts, thus ensuring that dense clusters of depolarizations of particular pathogenic potential can be detected by software and depicted to clinicians in real time and also be archived.

Standardized Transfer Process for a Neurointensive Care Unit and Assessment of Patient Bounceback
ConclusionsPatients who bounceback to the neuro-ICU within 48 h had an increased length of hospital stay, had an increased length of ICU stay, and were more likely to be intubated for more than 96 h. Implementation of a standardized five-step transfer process from the neuro-ICU to a lower level of care resulted in improvement in multiple provider-rated safe ty outcomes and identification of high-risk patients but led to no difference in the patient bounceback rate or patient disposition at discharge.
