Event Details
Course introduction:
Intracranial pressure measurement is a cornerstone of neurocritical care management for patients with acute brain injuries such as neurotrauma or hemorrhagic stroke. The use of intracranial pressure monitoring centers around detecting secondary brain injuries and offers a target for intervention. Controversy exists surrounding the indications, utility, and impact of intracranial pressure monitoring in clinical practice and modern conceptualizations suggest its use in conjunction with other monitoring modalities to inform more personalized decision making. We will explore the history, relevance, and management of intracranial pressure in the neurocritical care setting.
Course Objectives:
-
- Understand why ICP is used as a biomarker.
- Understand the components of the ICP waveform.
- Understand essentials of treating elevated intracranial pressure.

Brandon Foreman, MD MS FACNS FNCS is Associate Professor of Neurology & Rehabilitation Medicine and Neurosurgery at the University of Cincinnati and serves as Associate Director for Neurocritical Care Research with the Division of Neurocritical Care. Dr. Foreman was trained in both clinical neurophysiology and neurocritical care at Columbia University Medical Center and holds a master’s degree in clinical & translational research with a certificate in biomedical informatics from the University of Cincinnati. His research focuses on brain monitoring in the ICU. He is an expert on the use of EEG and ECoG to detect seizures and spreading depolarizations after brain injury and investigates the dysregulation of cerebral blood flow. His research goal is to integrate an understanding of cortical physiology with bedside care to inform precision critical care that improves outcome after acute brain injuries.
