New methods of predicting patient outcomes in TBI patients. Our research has showed automated collection of intra-cranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) recordings is more reliable and accurate than routine manual recordings. Assessing both the duration and the amplitude of abnormal ICP and CPP episodes better predicts outcome than the total duration of abnormal episodes. A dynamic approach of evaluating ‘pressure?time dose’ over time was valuable in directing therapeutic decisions for severely head-injured patients. The calculation of the ‘autonomic index’ (AI) obtained by multiplying heart rate variability (HRV)i and pulse pressure variability (PPV)i not only provided a visually vivid relationship but also simplified the study of prognostic values of critical thresholds. The Brain Trauma Index has been evaluated at the trauma center neuro trauma ICU. |

Our paper reporting on the time and estimated cost of rounding was selected by the Cardiothoracic surgery network for discussion. The paper itself is now open for free access, as well! |

An analysis of videotaped "cardiac rounds" in a pediatric intensive care unit was published in the current issue of Annals of Thoracic Surgery. The analysis was part of a National Science Foundation project to understand discourse during group meetings known as rounds. Although a significant amount of time is spent on rounds, our understanding of rounds' structures and goals is very limited. This paper is a first to describe time and cost conducting multidisciplinary rounds. |
