Newborn 0.7 – 1.5 mmHg

Intracranial Hypertension
Study N Variable Results
Figaji et al. 2009 34 PI ICP≥20 mmHg could be detected with 25% sensitivity and 80% NPV if PI 1.0 was used. Using PI 1.2 did not improve sensitivity. Pre-test/post-test probability: 22%, 38%.
Obrien et al. 2015
36 PI Using PI>1.31 within 24 hours of admission, ICP≥20 mmHg could be predicted with 100% sensitivity and 82% specificity (n=8). Pre-test/post-test probability: 22%, 62%.
CBF=CPP/k
Static rate of autoregulation (SROR)
• SROR = %ΔeCVR/%ΔCPP (or ABP)
• eCVR = CPP (or ABP)/CBFV
• Results range 0 (absent) to 1.0 (intact autoregulation)
CPP
2 – 6 years 50 mmHg
7 – 10 years 55
> 11 years 60
Pediatric severe TBI guidelines:
“A minimum CPP of 40 mm Hgmay be considered in children with TBI…”

At 6 months, 67% (8/12 patients) with ARI<0.4 had unfavorable outcome versus 88% with intact ARI had favorable outcome (p=0.005). ARI<0.4 predicted 6 month GOS<4 with 80% sensitivity, 78% specificity positive predictive value 67%, and negative predictive value 88%.

Is there unappreciated vascular injury?
• Blunt cerebrovascular injury occurs in children
• Bonnow et al. 2018:
– 1.3% (96/7,440) of pediatric trauma admissions
– 18% (17/96 admissions) stroke rate
• In adults, emboli detection by TCD is associated with increased risk of BCVI-related stroke
• Further research using emboli detection in children may identify those with underappreciated BCVI

Alterations in CBFV and Outcomes
• CBFV alterations are heterogeneous during first week following TBI
• CBFV <2SD for age may be associated with unfavorable neurologic outcomes
• Favorable outcomes may be more likely with normal CBFVs
Limitations
• Lack of population parameters
• Lack of validated criteria
• Sample size
• Clinical heterogeneity (e.g. mixed “phenotypes,” variation in local TBI practices?)
• Variation in research methodology (e.g. measurements, outcomes, data interpretation)
28
Summary
• Severe pediatric TBI is a global health problem
• TCD may be a useful tool to assess autoregulation, intracranial pressure, and vasospasm in the PICU for TBI
• Further research is needed to validate findings and establish gold standards in children
• Then TCD may impact day-to-day management in the PICU and improve outcomes in children with severe TBI
