Some clinicians may have a tendency to neglect performing a thorough neurological exam in a comatose patient. And when a neuro patient requires an advanced airway, some clinicians may not be mindful of cerebral perfusion pressure and how to optimize it effectively.
In this podcast episode, we provide you with the recording of Bryan’s presentation from ICON (IA MED Conference Online) 2021. After introducing a case study, he breaks down the various neuro assessment techniques that can be used when assessing comatose patients and how to best control their ICP when interventions are indicated.
*This recording is intended as an introduction to our next podcast episode, so stay tuned!
