Long-term and delayed functional recovery in patients with severe cerebrovascular and traumatic brain injury requiring tracheostomy.
CONCLUSIONS Among patients with severe brain injury requiring tracheostomy and tube feeding at ICU discharge, 46% regained the ability to walk and 37% performed B-ADLs 2-3 years after injury. DFR beyond 1-3 and 6-12 months was seen in over 30% of survivors, with no significant difference between sTBI and severe stroke. PMID: 29979120 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Changes in Swallowing and Cough Functions Among Stroke Patients Before and After Tracheostomy Decannulation
This study suggests that if patients show improvement in swallowing and coughing after their stroke, a multidisciplinary approach to tracheostomy decannulation would be needed to achieve better rehabilitation outcomes.

Repair of Thoracic and Thoracoabdominal Mycotic Aneurysms and Infected Aortic Grafts Using Allograft
Conclusions Radical resection and in-situ reconstruction with CPA avoids placing prosthetic material in an infected field and provides good early and mid-term outcomes. However, early postoperative imaging is necessary given the risk of pseudoaneurysm formation.

Dysphagia and laryngeal pathology in post-surgical cardiothoracic patients
Conclusion Early endoscopic assessment for identification of dysphagia and laryngeal injury in patients following cardiothoracic surgery may allow early management and prevention of secondary complications.

Early versus late tracheostomy after decompressive craniectomy for stroke
ConclusionEarly tracheostomy shortens duration of mechanical ventilation and length of stay after surgical decompression for stroke, but it did not impact mortality or VAP rates. A decision tree is a practical tool that may be helpful in guiding pre-operative decision-making with patients ’ families.

Decannulation and Functional Outcome After Tracheostomy in Patients with Severe Stroke (DECAST): A Prospective Observational Study
ConclusionsDecannulation was achieved in 59.4% of stroke patients surviving the first 12  months after tracheostomy and was associated with better functional outcome compared to patients without decannulation. Further prospective studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm our results.

Central cannulation strategy for extent I thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair of chronic type B aortic dissection
ConclusionsCentral true lumen cannulation through a left thoracotomy incision for repair of extent I TAAA with chronic type B dissection is an acceptable approach with equivalent early and midterm outcomes compared to more standard femoral cannulation techniques. It may provide a safe alternative cannulation site for patients with diseased femoral vessels.

Heart-Shaped Bilateral Medullary Pyramidal Infarction as a Pathognomonic Finding of Anterior Spinal Artery Occlusion
ConclusionAcute BMP infarction may present with flaccid tetraplegia mimicking neuromuscular disorders. When the infarction is recognized early, intravenous thrombolysis can be considered to reduce morbidity of this rare stroke subtype.

Comparative analysis of in-hospital outcomes between spontaneous vertebral and carotid arterial dissection at National level (P5.048)
Conclusions:Vertebral artery dissection affects younger patients in comparison to carotid dissections, is associated with higher in hospital complications and procedures, probably thereby leading to prolonged length of stay and higher hospital charges in comparison with carotid artery dissection. Early diagnoses of vertebral artery dissection as a cause of ischemic stroke in the posterior circulation is imperative to improve outcomes.Disclosure: Dr. Qureshi has nothing to disclose.

Hospital utilization, length stay and inhospital mortality in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage among different racial groups (P2.300)
Conclusions:There are significant differences in hospital utilization, in hospital mortality, LOS and disposition among different racial groups. Interestingly minorities have higher utilization and lower inhospital mortality compared to Whites. Further studies needs to be warranted.Disclosure: Dr. Maud has nothing to disclose.

"I believe in miracles": Implications for the Neuro-ICU (P3.181)
Conclusions:Preliminary data lack robustness to make definitive conclusions, however suggest possibility of shorter hospital LOS in those who don’t believe in miracles. Involvement of spiritual care early in the ICU may assist in important decision making with patients and family members.Disclosure: Dr. Ramineni has nothing to disclose.
