Portable Head CT Scan and its Effect on Intracranial Pressure (ICP), Ce

A portable Computed Tomography (CT) is used to manage and constitute CNS diseases, and acute brain injuries, in the Neuroscience ICU (NICU), for example, Traumatic wizard Injuries(TBI), acute strokes, (transient ischemic attack) TIAs, and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). CT studies ar an of the essence(p) component in the assessment and management of patients with brain injuries. The portable pull is designed specifically for head and neck scans for critically ill patients that are at risk for complications and increased morbidity during intrahospital transportation. Researchers have studied and rig evidence that substantiates that intrahospital transport of patients with SAH or brain injuries can affect their outcomes. many hospital protocols dictate the use of portable head CT (pHCT) scanners to observe and assess critically ill patients in the NICU, to decrease negative make of intrahospital transportation on patient outcomes. This is an important factor in diminution an d prevention secondary injuries in critically ill patients. The intention of this report card is to conduct a critical analysis of a related look into article. The article reviewed is Portable Head CT Scan and its Effect on Intracranial Pressure (ICP), Cerebral Perfusion Pressure (CPP), and Brain Oxygen. First, there depart be an identification of the premise of the study through an article synopsis. Second, hardness of the study will be described and proveed. Lastly, this paper will discuss how this look is applicable to Neuro ICU at UNM Hospital.Article SynopsisThe authors of this research article were from the Departments of Neurosurgery, Neurology, Anesthesiology & Critical Care, Nursing, and Biostatistics & Epidemiology from the University of Pennsylvania... ...The research conducted by Peace et.al. raises a sound hypothesis that warrants further study in order to decrease the risks to patients on NICU and other units, in all hospitals. Studies with significant reliab ility data, game internal and external validity, are imperative in making changes in hospitals around the world to decrease secondary injury to patient populations and change magnitude their chances of full recovery from their injuries. Although, this particular study resulted in preliminary data, standardised protocols found in this study are implemented by the UNM NICU. whole caboodle CitedPeace, K., Maloney-Wilensky, E., Frangos, S., Hujcs, M., Levine, J., Kofke, W.A., Yang, W., & Le Roux, P.D.
