The majority of studies suggest that SSRIs improve neurobehavioral, neurocognitive, and neuropsychiatric deficits, specifically agitation, depression, psychomotor retardation, and recent memory loss; however, most data originates from nonrandomized trials. The reader is referred to a review article from 2013 that suggests an approach to the management of the bleeding patient on a novel anticoagulant, which may be extrapolated to the head-injured patient. Pharmacists can also help patients and family members to identify activities or factors that exacerbate symptoms, such as anxiety or excessive stress.

The BC Medical Journal is a general medical journal published by Doctors of BC. Valproic acid, for example, enhances inhibitory control mediated by the neurotransmitter GABA, thereby promoting general central nervous system stabilization, but findings thus far have been mixed. This activity will update pharmacists and other healthcare professionals on current treatments for pseudobulbar affect (PBA). Patients were randomized to either placebo or 2 doses of dextromethorphan/quinidine, 30/10 mg or 20/10 mg, dosed twice daily. J Head Trauma Rehabil 2002;31:300-313.

[26] It is also a noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist and may provide protection against possible glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity in the context of TBI. In addition, patients treated with amantadine demonstrated changes in outcome LOC, specifically improved arousal and LOC as measured by the Glasgow Coma Scale. [22] Finally, paroxetine or citalopram, at a dose of 10 to 40 mg daily, was shown by another study to be equally effective in the treatment of pathological crying. J Psychopharmacol. Pharmacists also have a role in advising prescribers on appropriate off-label uses of drugs.50 In situations where patients are unable to swallow whole capsules, pharmacists may also use their expertise to compound liquid formulations of, for example, dextromethorphan and quinidine, as a suspension.51, Assist Patients/Caregivers With Coping Strategies for Living With PBA. Forsyth R, Jayamoni B. Noradrenergic agonists for acute traumatic brain injury. 2016 Aug;17(8):42. doi: 10.1007/s11864-016-0418-0. 2013;8(8):e72232. High doses of dextromethorphan, an NMDA antagonist, produce effects similar to classic hallucinogens. Multiple studies of amantadine at a dose of 100 to 300 mg daily have suggested its effectiveness in both the acute and chronic care phases after TBI, particularly in diffuse, frontal, or right-sided brain injury. 78 . 11. Mayo Clin Proc 2000;75:711-721. Blackwell B. There are also a number of animal studies examining drugs that have the potential to adversely affect brain recovery following TBI.

CPP is defined as mean arterial pressure (MAP) intracranial pressure (ICP). J Head Trauma Rehabil 1987;2:29-33. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 1993;74:153-160. Intraparenchymal monitors are placed directly into brain tissue but may not accurately measure pressure in the CSF due to pressure gradients that occur after TBI.5052 Both device types measure intracranial pressure, and the calculated CPP is used as a surrogate for CBF, and, by extension, brain oxygenation and metabolic supply. A 2013 study found that acute care surgeons can effectively manage patients with mild TBI without neurosurgical evaluation, although this cannot be firmly extrapolated to patients with moderate or severe TBI, and we suggest neurosurgical consultation for any intracranial hemorrhage, irrespective of neurologic function.48. drugs.com/price-guide/nuedexta. 1Chief Resident in General Surgery, Department of Surgery, Section of Surgical Sciences, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Medical Center North, CCC-4312, 1161 21st Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37232-2730, ude.tlibrednav@allev.a.leahcim, 2Professor of Surgery, Division of Acute Care Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Florida, Jacksonville, 655 West 8th Street, Jacksonville, FL 32209, ude.lfu.xaj@lladnarc.eiraM, 3Assistant Professor of Surgery, Neurosurgery, Hearing & Speech Sciences, Division of Trauma, Surgical Critical Care, and Emergency General Surgery, Department of Surgery, Section of Surgical Sciences, Center for Health Services Research, Vanderbilt Brain Institute, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, 1211 21st Avenue South, Medical Arts Building, Suite 404, Nashville, TN 37212, ude.tlibrednav@letap.b.ruyam, Algorithmic Approach to the Management of Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (GCS <9), Simple algorithm for the management of severe head injury as described in the text.

With appropriate education, pharmacists can play an important role in the education, assessment, and monitoring of pharmacologic treatments for PBA that can potentially result in better outcomes. An official website of the United States government. A Trial of Intracranial-Pressure Monitoring in Traumatic Brain Injury. Longer-term safety of dextromethorphan/quinidine treatment of PBA was investigated in an open-label, 52-week, multicenter study.43 A total of 553 patients were recruited (40.3% had MS; 31.8%, ALS; 8.3%, stroke; 3.8%, TBI) and were treated with dextromethorphan/quinidine 30/30 mg twice daily.43 The most frequent AEs during treatment were nausea (24.8%), headache (22.8%), dizziness (19.5%), falls (16.5%), diarrhea (16.3%), fatigue (14.6%), and weakness (13.7%).43 These long-term AEs are consistent with results observed in placebo-controlled trials. Pharmacologic venous thromboembolism prophylaxis after traumatic brain injury: a critical literature review. Breathing should be optimized to maintain oxygenation and prevent ventilatory dysfunction, as extremes in CO2 can lead to cerebral vasoconstriction, vasodilation, and have been shown to be predictors of morbidity and mortality.8 Hyperventilation is used by some providers to acutely decrease ICP through hypocarbic vasoconstriction, despite evidence showing an association between even brief periods of hyperventilation and increased mediators of secondary brain injury in areas adjacent to injured brain tissue as well as local reductions in cerebral perfusion.1618 This strategy should be used with caution, and perhaps only employed to acutely combat signs of active herniation while initiating more definitive treatment.

The vigilance promoting drug modafinil increases extracellular glutamate levels in the medial preoptic area and the posterior hypothalamus of the conscious rat: Prevention by local GABAA receptor blockade. Currently, we cannot reverse the initial insult causing a TBI, referred to as the primary injury. A systemic review of randomized controlled trials of hypothermia in traumatic brain injury found that hypothermia was associated with reduced mortality and improvements in neurologic function.73 Other authors call into question the benefits of hypothermia in TBI citing poor quality trials.74 The BTF currently recommends against the routine use of early, short term prophylactic hypothermia in patients with diffuse TBI.30, Patients with traumatic brain injury are at risk for venous thromboembolic disease given venous stasis, venous injury, and potential coagulopathy associated with TBI.

For example, in TBI or stroke, the need for treatment may diminish as recovery occurs and neurological function is restored. The content of this field is kept private and will not be shown publicly. 4. Simple maneuvers like loosening of the cervical collar, raising the head of bed >30 degrees or maintaining a reverse Trendelenburg position (if no contraindication), and optimizing sedation and analgesia can decrease ICP, although some of these may not improve CBF or CPP.49 Blood products can be given to keep INR <1.5 and platelets 100,000 to prevent further intracranial bleeding, although these are arbitrary hemostatic thresholds and may be influenced by pre-injury antiplatelet/anticoagulants, availability of thromboelastography (TEG), neurologic changes, imaging changes, and/or institutional culture.

Prehospital hypoxia in these same patients was associated with a significant increase in mortality, and there was no difference in hypoxic episodes between patients intubated vs. those not intubated in the field.10 Similarly, prehospital rapid sequence intubation performed by paramedics in head injured patients with GCS <9 was associated with an increase in mortality.
