Question

a nurse caring for ahead injury comatose patients which intervention he or she should implement to prevent increased intracranial pressure?​

Answer 1

Medical management of increased ICP should include sedation, drainage of CSF, and osmotherapy with either mannitol or hypertonic saline. For intracranial hypertension refractory to initial medical management, barbiturate coma, hypothermia, or decompressive craniectomy should be considered.
