We can do better !! (Pepe, Curr opin Crit Care 2007)
• Bulger et al, CCM 2002:
– retrospective, 34 academic centers US: 182 pt GCS8
– Large variations in care
– “aggressive centres”: mortality ratio 0.43 (95%CI 0.27;0.66)
• Van de Voorde et al, Resuscitation 2008: PENTA 2005
92 trauma cases with ISS>12; problems in AB 38/92, C 29/92, CPR 4/7, CO2 management 14/66...
The brain NEVER
forgives...
The BRAIN: a closed box (Monroe-Kelly)
The BRAIN: under attack...
Courtesy of Pekka Romsi, 2002
Children are different...
• Different insult types...
• Higher water content in younger children...
• More vulnerable BBB
• Age related CBF & CMRO2
• Age specific autoregulation limits
• Immature brain at greater risk of excitotoxicity
• Apoptosis
• Brain plasticity – on-going myelinisation
• Extracerebral differences (T, RR...)
Secondary Brain Damage
Caused by
– CMRO2 (convulsions, fever...)
– substrate delivery (hypoxemia, hypotension...)
– ICP: oedema, mass, hyperemia/hypertension
– direct cell. toxicity: hyperglycemia...
–Dose –response relation?
–Time or concentration dependent?
– multivariate model (interaction & interrelation)

Kareltje, 4 months
• 36w°, neonatal ventil. 4 weeks ~ gastroschizis
• Home for 3 w; constipation
• Vomiting++, T 38° (? 1* 39.8 °C); Red blood in stool?
• ED consult adivced by pharmacist
• After 1h sudden tonic – clonic convulsions right> left + eye deviation to right
Status epilepticus
•>30’ continuous or repeated without recovery in-between
•>5’: “pending status”
Status epilepticus
• 20 - 50/100000/Y
• UK 1.2% of all ED visits; 4/1000 kids before the age of 15y
• 10% of all children with epi (early)
• ? NCSE incidence...
• 14% after stop clinical convulsions still EEG NCSE
Status epi: does it hurt??
• mors 2-6%, risk long-term morbidity
• Time is brain!!!!!
– CMRO2 – O2 consumption
– CBF – glucose
– Autonomic: tachycardia…
– after ~30’ failure homeostasis: CBF cerebr glucose; cerebr oxygenation + SYMPATIC: acidosis, hyperthermia, rhabdomyolysis, neurogenic longoedema…
A clockwork orange…
• A coma..., secretions...
• B high flow O2; (? Adequacy ventilation)
• C (sepsis?...) ; IV-IO access (!Time)
• D DRUGS – NEUROPROTECTIVE CARE...
• E environment (AMPLE…)
A clockwork orange• 5’ Benzo
– IV loraz – midaz; IR diaz / IM - IN or intrabucc midaz (dose..)
• 10’ 2de dose benzo (avoid repeating IR diaz!!)
• 5-10’ (IO if no iv access)– IV Phenytoin 20mg/kg in min. 15’ , fysio (10mg/ml, max
50mg/’)
– < 1y or Phenytoin maintenance: Fenobarbital IV 20mg/kg in 15’ (max 60mg/’)

AND/OR
– RSI intubation (?Pentobarbital ? Propofol); short-acting curare!!!
• ? NON-CONVULSIVE STATUS:
– Continuous EEG monitoring
– Postictal and/or medication effect vs NCSE
“E”• Hx: known epi, fam, medical disease, medication
or drugs, trauma, AMPLE
• Clinical: signs of infection, lateralisation, focal, partial vs gegeneralised; coma (8-10% possible NCSE)

COMA
What if Kareltje was admitted with ... without convulsions...
the pediatric brain under attack ..• Hypoxic-ischemic e.g. Shock...• Primary CNS
– Convulsive– Trauma– Intracran. Mass– Central neurological– Infectious, ADEM…
• Systemic– Glycemic ( DEFG: DON’T EVER FORGET GLUCOSE); DKA– Acidosis; CO2; metabolic diseases...– Na, Ca– Temperature– Liver or renal failure– SIRS– Endocrine (panhypopit, thyroid, adrenal…)– Hypertensive crisis
PROTECT UW BRAIN..
…You only have 1 !!
WAT MAKES the DIFFERENCE?
• Normoxemia (fiO2, ?intubation)
• Normocapnia
• CPP (= MAP-ICP); ICP (etiology?)
• CMRO2: convulsions, T°, analgosed.
• Normoglyc, Sodium...
• Systemic derangements!!
COMA IS A multiSYSTEMIC disease
• Hypertension: medic, ICP, adrenerg…• Hypotension: neurogenic ‘stunned’ myocard…• Resp. failure (pCO2 – pO2): aspiration, AW
obstruct, ALI, spinal, Neurogenic LO (OS ~ hypothal dysfct)
• Endocrien: DI / SIADH, CSW (BNP), Adrenal insuff, euthyroid sick sinus…
• GI• Infectious• Autonomic dysfct (T°…)
KARELTJE: level of consciousness?
• lethargic, stupor….
• Alert – Verbal – Pain – Unresponsive
• GCS 8 (Child’s Glasgow Coma scale BPNA 2001)
– Score best answer if unclear or asymmetr.
– Score as usual if interferences (T, P…)

KARELTJE: HOW TO..?
• ABC (+100% O2)
• D: level of severity & adequate R/
• Assess + act + reassess
• History; Clinical evaluation
• Monitoring / Parameters / diagnostic tests
Kareltje: ABCDE• Avoid hypoxemia: initially FiO2 100%, then ~
sat 94-98%
– Fct of FiO2, PEEP, TV (not RR)
• Avoid hypo- or hypercapnie!! (except RESCUE)
– ? etCO2 guidance
– Normoventilatie: infant 25-30/’ child 20-25/’
• Intubation:
– Sometimes necessary, live-saving but dangerous!
– Rapid Sequence Intubation
ABCDE: do NOT tolerate HYPOTENSION
• Euvolemia• SAFE study: higher mortality with Albumin vs Fys• Avoid hypotonic fluids; ? hypertonic • Cave coagulopathy
• Inotropic and Vasopressor support– Noradr.: most efficient on MAP, most predictable– Dopamine: ?brain oedema, hormone suppresion– Adrenaline: ICP elevation?– Vasopressin:?
• Head position
Safe study, NEJM 2007; Pfister, Eur J Anaesth Suppl 2008; Steiner, CCM 2004; Samant, J Neurotrauma 2008
Targeted management CPP
ABCDE: ICP lowering strategies
• Adequate analgosedation!!
• Veneuze outflow
• Osmotherapy
• pCO2
• CSF drainage
• Steroiden: most often NOT!! (certain indications...)
Osmotherapy
• Mannitol: euvolemic pt, high dose bolus (15’)– fast
– Max Posm 320mOsm/l
– Diuretic, risk ATN; ? Reverse osmosis, ? rebound
• Hypertonic Salt: bolus (15’)– Better hemodynamic profile (small-volume
resusc.), less RDS?...
– No proven impact on survival
– Hyperchloremic acidosis (HY-SALT trial), max Posm360 mOsm/l, cave rebound!
Cochrane2005, CD001049; Battison, CCM 2005; Cooper, JAMA 2004; Levine CCM 2006
ABCDE: GOOD CLINICAL PRACTICE• AVOID HypoNa+!
• AVOID HypoMg2+
• AVOID Hypo- / hyperglycemia
• AVOID convulsions (?NCSE)
• AVOID hyperthermia!! (?pre-emptive)
• Prevention for DVT, ulcus, VAP...
Polderman, ICM 2003; Nadler, Lancet 1998; Bilotta, Neurocritical care 2008; Vespa, CCM 2007
IMMINENT Herniation
Symptoms >>>> “RESCUE” >>>> NeuroCH
• Optimal. analgosedation
• Mannitol 20% 1-1.5g/kg in 15’
• Hypertonic salt e.g. NaCl 3% 4ml/kg in 15’
• Moderate Hyperventilation (pCO2 ~ 30mmHg)– follow-up brain oxygenation?
• NEUROCH: evac mass, decompression!
Neurological symptoms and fever....
What if Kareltje was admitted with ...
Convulsions with fever….
• Frequent (~5% prevalence <7j), mostly benign!
• About 10% prolonged: R/ if >5’
• LP?: “each child with fever” – Risk herniation exists
– Funduscopy high specific, low sensitive
– If diminished consciousness always CT before LP
– Never LP if GCS < 8 or clinical signs of ICHT
– ? PBC - Coagulation
Meningitis
• Clinical
– Fever; Meningeal signs (>2 jr)
– consciousness, convulsions (31%), ICHT
– Focal Signs• Subdural collection, abcedation or vascular
– Cranial nerve• Direct inflammation, compression, ICHT
• Biochemistry, LP
• Bacterial? (Meningococcal, pneumococcal, Listeria, E coli..)
Fysiopathology meningitis
– Colonisation + infection
– Hematogenic invasion
– Meningeal invasion
– Meningeal and cerebral inflammation• Bacterial lysis (role AB)
• cerebral vascular lesions (thrombosis), circulation CSF +inflammation parenchym (cerebritis)
– Cerebral oedema + ICHT• Vasogenic, cytotoxic en interstitiëel
Complications bacterial meningitis
– Mortality 3-13%
– SIADH 6-17%
– Subdural collections 10-40%
– Convulsions 6-44%
– Cranial NN 3-13%
– Hemiparesis 3-13%nge termijn
– Neurologic long-term 6-40%
– Hydrocephalus 0-5%
– Deafness 5-43%
Treatment bacterial meningitis
– Neuroprotective and supportive (incl ABCD)
– Etiological
• Steroids (bv. solumedrol 1mg/kg) before antibiotics (or < 60’ after)
• Cetotaxime IV (+ Ampicilline IV) (50 mg/kg Q6u)
– Do NOT wait with R/ because of LP!
? Viral (meningo-) encephalitis
• Suspected if diminished consciousness and 1 or more criteria
– Focal neurological signs
– Changing consciousness for >6h
– Contact with e.g. Herpes, viral coryza...
– No clear etiology of lower consciousness
• LP : routine; viral PCRs (Herpes!, NPE, Coxsackie..)
• Liver tests? Serology? EEG? MRI?
• dD toxic encephalopaty, ADEM...
Treatment presumed viral encephalitis
• Neuroprotective care
• Etiological
– Aciclovir IV (>3mnd: 1500mg/m2/day q8h) 14-21 days, earlier stop if no longer suspicious for herpes
– Consider Ciproxine IV
– Do NOT wait for LP!
– No use for steroids? unless
• POST infectious, Cerebellitis, Limbic...
