You will find brief review about intracranial hypertension pathophysiology and discuss sections such Herniation Syndromes, Guidelines for treatment of increased ICP in the pediatric population, Increased intracranial pressure monitoring in children, Positioning to reduce ICP, Sedation and Analgesia for intracranial hypertension therapies, Hyperosmolar Solution Therapy, Hyperventilation Method, Barbiturates, Drainage of CSF, The use of mild to moderate hypothermia, Surgical interventions, and Other Therapies.
