Brain Edema

This study has two main goals: 1) to refine and enhance the R2R-TBI intervention; and 2) to examine the efficacy of the R2R-TBI intervention in a randomized control trial. To achieve the second goal, we will employ a between-groups randomized treatment design with repeated measures at baseline, one-month post-randomization, and at a six-month follow-up. The two conditions will be: a) usual medical care plus access to internet resources regarding pediatric brain injury (Internet Resources Comparison group, IRC), and b) usual medical care plus the R2R-TBI intervention (Road-to-Recovery group, R2R-TBI).

To design and validate a predictive model for malignant brain edema after endovascular thrombectomy.

The decision to give fluids perioperatively could be based on methods used to identify preload responsiveness, either invasive or noninvasive estimates of stroke volume variation during mechanical ventilation. This study compares fluid management using invasive measurement SPV/PPV (Aisys GE) and noninvasive haemodynamic measurement (ClarSight, Edwards).
