EXTENDED GLASGOW OUTCOME SCALE AND CORRELATION WITH BISPECTRAL INDEX
Get PDFTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health issue, which results in significant mortality and long-term disability. The profound impact of TBI is not only felt by the individuals who suffer the injury but also their caregivers and society as a whole. Clinicians and researchers require reliable and valid measures of long-term outcome not only to truly quantify the burden of TBI and the scale of functional impairment in survivors but also to allow early appropriate allocation of rehabilitation supports. In addition, clinical trials which aim to improve outcomes in this devastating condition require high-quality measures to accurately assess the impact of the interventions being studied. In this article, we review the properties of an ideal measure of outcome in the TBI population. Then, we will describe the measurement tools include: the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) and extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOSe) in correlation with bispectral index (BIS)
Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus (NCSE) in ICU
Get PDFEpilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent epileptic seizures. Non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is defined as a persistent change in mental status as opposed to the previous conditions, lasted at least 30 minutes long, associated with continuous spike wave epileptiform EEG changes. Clinical manifestation of NCSE can present as confusion, personality changes, psychosis, and coma. Indeed NCSE prognosis is dependent on the underlying etiology of persistent EEG changes of. Preferred medication is focus on improving its fundamental pathological changes, such as metabolic disorders, infection, drugs toxicity, and immediate pharmacological treatment. Intravenous benzodiazepine is recommended asthe first drug of choice for NCSE and early recognition of treatment response can help to establish the diagnosis. This patient has a good outcome which was influenced with short ictal period from the first episode upon arrival on reffered hospital, good initial response and management on emergency department, a conduct and thorough ICU monitoring, as well as the effective treatment response
