Critical approach

bull ICP and CPP are global measures

bull Several studies including the BEST TRIP trial highlight that

bdquotreatingrdquo ICP does not necessarily mean a treatment for brain

injury

Deterioration is not exclusively caused by

enlargement of the ICH hellip

bull cerebral infarction measured by brain tissue oxygen

monitoring can occur despite normal ICP readings

bull increased ICP detection is only responsible for half the

Timing of DC

bull There is a lack of evidence to define when to perform DC

bull Multimodality monitoring including trend- and waveform- analysis

of ICP as well as PRx should provide a solid basis for this

bull First exclude technical and extra-CNS causes

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

In 8y sTBI patients (19-59y) in 15 tertiary care hospitals in

Australia New Zealand and Saudi Arabia

treatment for ICP over 20 mm Hg

early refractory elevation in intracranial pressure

bull a spontaneous (not stimulated) increase in intracranial pressure for

more than 15 minutes (continuously or intermittently) within a 1-hour

period despite optimized first-tier interventions

interventions included

bull optimized sedation the normalization of arterial carbon dioxide

pressure and the use of mannitol hypertonic saline neuromuscular

blockade and external ventricular drainage

Randomization in 72 hours after injury to decompressive

craniectomy plus standard care or to receive

standard care alone

Standard care

bull Brain Trauma Foundation - Guidelines

Second-tier options for refractory elevation of intracranial

pressure

bull mild hypothermia (to 35degC)

bull optimized use of barbiturates

bull both

Patients randomized to continued standard care

bull protocol permitted the use of lifesaving decompressive craniectomy

after a period of 72 hours had elapsed since admission

Conclusions of the study

The method bdquoworksrdquo

The outcome is unaffected

bull Decompressive craniectomy does not improve outcome when it

is done on patients who donrsquot need it

(Chesnut R 2014 INTS Budapest)

Why do patients not require DC

bull ICP is not elevated

bull Is ICP relevant to define the treatment options

bull Sometimes yes sometimes not

Letrsquos forget the bdquoone size fits allrdquo ndash approach

Conclusions

Decompressive craniectomy may harbor

significant consequences not a harmless

intervention

We lack solid scientific evidence to define the

optimal timing of cranioplasty

In case of hydrocephalus stage treatment with

the priority of CP (or CP+ventriculostomy) seems

advisable

In the pediatric population late cranioplasty may

increase the rate of reabsorption

Critical approach

bull ICP and CPP are global measures

bull Several studies including the BEST TRIP trial highlight that

bdquotreatingrdquo ICP does not necessarily mean a treatment for brain

injury

Deterioration is not exclusively caused by

enlargement of the ICH hellip

bull cerebral infarction measured by brain tissue oxygen

monitoring can occur despite normal ICP readings

bull increased ICP detection is only responsible for half the

bull Multimodality monitoring including trend- and waveform- analysis

of ICP as well as PRx should provide a solid basis for this

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

In 8y sTBI patients (19-59y) in 15 tertiary care hospitals in

Australia New Zealand and Saudi Arabia

treatment for ICP over 20 mm Hg

early refractory elevation in intracranial pressure

bull a spontaneous (not stimulated) increase in intracranial pressure for

more than 15 minutes (continuously or intermittently) within a 1-hour

period despite optimized first-tier interventions

interventions included

bull optimized sedation the normalization of arterial carbon dioxide

pressure and the use of mannitol hypertonic saline neuromuscular

blockade and external ventricular drainage

Randomization in 72 hours after injury to decompressive

craniectomy plus standard care or to receive

standard care alone

Standard care

bull Brain Trauma Foundation - Guidelines

Second-tier options for refractory elevation of intracranial

pressure

bull mild hypothermia (to 35degC)

bull optimized use of barbiturates

bull both

Patients randomized to continued standard care

bull protocol permitted the use of lifesaving decompressive craniectomy

after a period of 72 hours had elapsed since admission

Conclusions of the study

The method bdquoworksrdquo

The outcome is unaffected

bull Decompressive craniectomy does not improve outcome when it

is done on patients who donrsquot need it

(Chesnut R 2014 INTS Budapest)

Why do patients not require DC

bull ICP is not elevated

bull Is ICP relevant to define the treatment options

bull Sometimes yes sometimes not

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

Conclusions

Decompressive craniectomy may harbor

significant consequences not a harmless

intervention

We lack solid scientific evidence to define the

optimal timing of cranioplasty

In case of hydrocephalus stage treatment with

the priority of CP (or CP+ventriculostomy) seems

advisable

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

In 8y sTBI patients (19-59y) in 15 tertiary care hospitals in

Australia New Zealand and Saudi Arabia

treatment for ICP over 20 mm Hg

early refractory elevation in intracranial pressure

bull a spontaneous (not stimulated) increase in intracranial pressure for

more than 15 minutes (continuously or intermittently) within a 1-hour

period despite optimized first-tier interventions

interventions included

bull optimized sedation the normalization of arterial carbon dioxide

pressure and the use of mannitol hypertonic saline neuromuscular

blockade and external ventricular drainage

Randomization in 72 hours after injury to decompressive

craniectomy plus standard care or to receive

standard care alone

Standard care

bull Brain Trauma Foundation - Guidelines

Second-tier options for refractory elevation of intracranial

pressure

bull mild hypothermia (to 35degC)

bull optimized use of barbiturates

bull both

Patients randomized to continued standard care

bull protocol permitted the use of lifesaving decompressive craniectomy

after a period of 72 hours had elapsed since admission

Conclusions of the study

The method bdquoworksrdquo

The outcome is unaffected

bull Decompressive craniectomy does not improve outcome when it

is done on patients who donrsquot need it

Conclusions

Decompressive craniectomy may harbor

significant consequences not a harmless

intervention

We lack solid scientific evidence to define the

optimal timing of cranioplasty

In case of hydrocephalus stage treatment with

the priority of CP (or CP+ventriculostomy) seems

advisable

In the pediatric population late cranioplasty may

increase the rate of reabsorption

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

Conclusions

Decompressive craniectomy may harbor

We lack solid scientific evidence to define the

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

In 8y sTBI patients (19-59y) in 15 tertiary care hospitals in

Australia New Zealand and Saudi Arabia

treatment for ICP over 20 mm Hg

early refractory elevation in intracranial pressure

bull a spontaneous (not stimulated) increase in intracranial pressure for

more than 15 minutes (continuously or intermittently) within a 1-hour

period despite optimized first-tier interventions

interventions included

bull optimized sedation the normalization of arterial carbon dioxide

pressure and the use of mannitol hypertonic saline neuromuscular

blockade and external ventricular drainage

Randomization in 72 hours after injury to decompressive

craniectomy plus standard care or to receive

standard care alone

Standard care

bull Brain Trauma Foundation - Guidelines

Cranioplasty and ventriculostomy followed by a second stage

placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt are associated with

fewer complications in the treatment of hydrocephalus after

DC

Conclusions

Decompressive craniectomy may harbor

significant consequences not a harmless

intervention

We lack solid scientific evidence to define the

optimal timing of cranioplasty

In case of hydrocephalus stage treatment with

the priority of CP (or CP+ventriculostomy) seems

advisable

In the pediatric population late cranioplasty may

increase the rate of reabsorption

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

In 8y sTBI patients (19-59y) in 15 tertiary care hospitals in

Australia New Zealand and Saudi Arabia

bull a spontaneous (not stimulated) increase in intracranial pressure for

more than 15 minutes (continuously or intermittently) within a 1-hour

period despite optimized first-tier interventions

interventions included

bull optimized sedation the normalization of arterial carbon dioxide

pressure and the use of mannitol hypertonic saline neuromuscular

blockade and external ventricular drainage

Randomization in 72 hours after injury to decompressive

craniectomy plus standard care or to receive

standard care alone

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

In 8y sTBI patients (19-59y) in 15 tertiary care hospitals in

Australia New Zealand and Saudi Arabia

treatment for ICP over 20 mm Hg

early refractory elevation in intracranial pressure

bull a spontaneous (not stimulated) increase in intracranial pressure for

more than 15 minutes (continuously or intermittently) within a 1-hour

period despite optimized first-tier interventions

interventions included

bull optimized sedation the normalization of arterial carbon dioxide

pressure and the use of mannitol hypertonic saline neuromuscular

blockade and external ventricular drainage

Randomization in 72 hours after injury to decompressive

craniectomy plus standard care or to receive

standard care alone

Standard care

bull Brain Trauma Foundation - Guidelines

Second-tier options for refractory elevation of intracranial

pressure

bull mild hypothermia (to 35degC)

bull optimized use of barbiturates

bull both

Patients randomized to continued standard care

bull protocol permitted the use of lifesaving decompressive craniectomy

after a period of 72 hours had elapsed since admission

Conclusions of the study

The method bdquoworksrdquo

The outcome is unaffected

bull Decompressive craniectomy does not improve outcome when it

is done on patients who donrsquot need it

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

Australia New Zealand and Saudi Arabia

bull a spontaneous (not stimulated) increase in intracranial pressure for

more than 15 minutes (continuously or intermittently) within a 1-hour

period despite optimized first-tier interventions

interventions included

bull optimized sedation the normalization of arterial carbon dioxide

pressure and the use of mannitol hypertonic saline neuromuscular

blockade and external ventricular drainage

Randomization in 72 hours after injury to decompressive

Conclusions

Decompressive craniectomy may harbor

We lack solid scientific evidence to define the

Pachatouridis D et al TurkNeurosurg 2014

Cranioplasty and ventriculostomy followed by a second stage

placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt are associated with

fewer complications in the treatment of hydrocephalus after

DC

Conclusions

Decompressive craniectomy may harbor

significant consequences not a harmless

intervention

We lack solid scientific evidence to define the

optimal timing of cranioplasty

In case of hydrocephalus stage treatment with

the priority of CP (or CP+ventriculostomy) seems

advisable

In the pediatric population late cranioplasty may

increase the rate of reabsorption

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

In 8y sTBI patients (19-59y) in 15 tertiary care hospitals in

Australia New Zealand and Saudi Arabia

treatment for ICP over 20 mm Hg

early refractory elevation in intracranial pressure

bull a spontaneous (not stimulated) increase in intracranial pressure for

more than 15 minutes (continuously or intermittently) within a 1-hour

period despite optimized first-tier interventions

interventions included

bull optimized sedation the normalization of arterial carbon dioxide

pressure and the use of mannitol hypertonic saline neuromuscular

blockade and external ventricular drainage

Randomization in 72 hours after injury to decompressive

craniectomy plus standard care or to receive

standard care alone

Standard care

bull Brain Trauma Foundation - Guidelines

Second-tier options for refractory elevation of intracranial

pressure

bull mild hypothermia (to 35degC)

bull optimized use of barbiturates

bull both

Patients randomized to continued standard care

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

Australia New Zealand and Saudi Arabia

bull a spontaneous (not stimulated) increase in intracranial pressure for

more than 15 minutes (continuously or intermittently) within a 1-hour

interventions included

bull optimized sedation the normalization of arterial carbon dioxide

pressure and the use of mannitol hypertonic saline neuromuscular

blockade and external ventricular drainage

Randomization in 72 hours after injury to decompressive

craniectomy plus standard care or to receive

standard care alone

Standard care

The outcome is unaffected

bull Decompressive craniectomy does not improve outcome when it

is done on patients who donrsquot need it

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

Conclusions

Decompressive craniectomy may harbor

We lack solid scientific evidence to define the

Decompressive craniectomy may harbor

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

Decompressive craniectomy may harbor

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Conclusions

Decompressive craniectomy may harbor

significant consequences not a harmless

intervention

We lack solid scientific evidence to define the

optimal timing of cranioplasty

In case of hydrocephalus stage treatment with

the priority of CP (or CP+ventriculostomy) seems

advisable

In the pediatric population late cranioplasty may

increase the rate of reabsorption

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

In 8y sTBI patients (19-59y) in 15 tertiary care hospitals in

Australia New Zealand and Saudi Arabia

treatment for ICP over 20 mm Hg

early refractory elevation in intracranial pressure

bull a spontaneous (not stimulated) increase in intracranial pressure for

more than 15 minutes (continuously or intermittently) within a 1-hour

period despite optimized first-tier interventions

interventions included

bull optimized sedation the normalization of arterial carbon dioxide

pressure and the use of mannitol hypertonic saline neuromuscular

blockade and external ventricular drainage

Randomization in 72 hours after injury to decompressive

craniectomy plus standard care or to receive

standard care alone

Standard care

bull Brain Trauma Foundation - Guidelines

Second-tier options for refractory elevation of intracranial

pressure

bull mild hypothermia (to 35degC)

bull optimized use of barbiturates

bull both

Patients randomized to continued standard care

bull protocol permitted the use of lifesaving decompressive craniectomy

after a period of 72 hours had elapsed since admission

Conclusions of the study

The method bdquoworksrdquo

The outcome is unaffected

bull Decompressive craniectomy does not improve outcome when it

is done on patients who donrsquot need it

(Chesnut R 2014 INTS Budapest)

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

In 8y sTBI patients (19-59y) in 15 tertiary care hospitals in

Australia New Zealand and Saudi Arabia

treatment for ICP over 20 mm Hg

early refractory elevation in intracranial pressure

bull a spontaneous (not stimulated) increase in intracranial pressure for

more than 15 minutes (continuously or intermittently) within a 1-hour

period despite optimized first-tier interventions

interventions included

bull optimized sedation the normalization of arterial carbon dioxide

pressure and the use of mannitol hypertonic saline neuromuscular

blockade and external ventricular drainage

Randomization in 72 hours after injury to decompressive

craniectomy plus standard care or to receive

standard care alone

Standard care

bull Brain Trauma Foundation - Guidelines

Second-tier options for refractory elevation of intracranial

pressure

bull mild hypothermia (to 35degC)

bull optimized use of barbiturates

bull both

Patients randomized to continued standard care

after a period of 72 hours had elapsed since admission

Conclusions of the study

The method bdquoworksrdquo

The outcome is unaffected

bull Decompressive craniectomy does not improve outcome when it

is done on patients who donrsquot need it

(Chesnut R 2014 INTS Budapest)

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

Australia New Zealand and Saudi Arabia

bull a spontaneous (not stimulated) increase in intracranial pressure for

more than 15 minutes (continuously or intermittently) within a 1-hour

period despite optimized first-tier interventions

interventions included

bull optimized sedation the normalization of arterial carbon dioxide

pressure and the use of mannitol hypertonic saline neuromuscular

blockade and external ventricular drainage

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

Decompressive craniectomy for the treatment of refractory high intracranial

pressure in traumatic brain injury

bull There is no evidence to support the routine use of secondary DC to reduce

unfavorable outcome in adults with severe TBI and refractory high ICP

bull In the pediatric population DC reduces the risk of death and unfavorable outcome

bull this treatment maybe justified in patients below the age of 18 when maximal medical

treatment has failed to control ICP

bull To date there are no results from randomized trials to confirm or refute the

effectiveness of DC in adults

bull results of non-randomized trials and controlled trials with historical controls involving

adults suggest that DC may be a useful option when maximal medical treatment has

failed to control ICP

Characteristics of the trial

In 8y sTBI patients (19-59y) in 15 tertiary care hospitals in

Australia New Zealand and Saudi Arabia

treatment for ICP over 20 mm Hg

early refractory elevation in intracranial pressure

bull a spontaneous (not stimulated) increase in intracranial pressure for

more than 15 minutes (continuously or intermittently) within a 1-hour

period despite optimized first-tier interventions

interventions included

bull optimized sedation the normalization of arterial carbon dioxide

pressure and the use of mannitol hypertonic saline neuromuscular

blockade and external ventricular drainage

Randomization in 72 hours after injury to decompressive

craniectomy plus standard care or to receive

standard care alone

Standard care
