Beschreibungen/Notizen
Brain tumor patients constitute a heterogeneous population, representing a wide variety of pathologies and clinical presentations. From a neurocritical care perspective, brain tumor patients will require treatment of cerebral edema, seizures, and/or hydrocephalus. Attention to the neurologic exam is critical, as subtle changes in clinical status often signal an impending, and after catastrophic, clinical deterioration. In addition, excellent critical care management is necessary in both the pre- and postoperative period and has been demonstrated to significantly reduce morbidity and mortality.
