I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran! – @realDonaldTrump (Apr 07, 2026, 6:06 AM) Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J.

Biographical Bytes from Bala: Laurel Hill West Stories #046 For about 30 years in the middle of the 20th century, medical wisdom had declared that destroying organically healthy brain tissue was a legitimate treatment for varying psychiatric disorders. The concept of psychosurgery dates back to the Neolithic period but became more prominent in the 19th and 20th centuries.  The champion for destroying healthy brain tissue was a Philadelphia born-and trained neurologist Walter Freeman, who performed the procedure several thousand times. Robert A. Groff, MD, also trained at Penn, as well as under the legendary Harvey Cushing in Boston. Toward the end of his legendary career, he was convinced to perform a lobotomy on a patient who had already failed the procedure once. Groff did it twice, and when the patient and his mother were disappointed by the results they sued. But Dr. Groff died after giving his deposition, but before his case came to trial.    This podcast gives a history of psychosurgery, starting with trepanning, and covers it through the horror days of blind lobotomies with a butter knife to present-day stereotactic deep stimulation techniques.

During the interview, John shares some of the clinic's history, noting how Dr. Semmes was the first neurosurgeon in Memphis, and he trained directly under Dr. Harvey Cushing, who's considered the “father” of neurosurgery. He talks about the growth over the years and how today Semmes Murphey Clinic is a multi-faceted practice with more than 40 physicians, 3 neuropsychologists, and a full complement of physical therapists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and related medical staff who collectively treat everything from headaches to complex spinal deformity.John discusses how being independent of any hospital facility or other practice means their doctors see patients all across the Mid-South and shares some of the many different ways his team helps patients between a brain tumor surgery in a pediatric hospital, stroke intervention at an adult hospital, spine trauma surgery in an emergency room, elective spine surgery in their surgery center, a memory care assessment office visit, conservative care physical therapy in their clinic or an MRI in their imaging suite. John then talks about his team and the specialized training and education required in the field. He talks about some of the innovations, like minimally-invasive spine surgery, which is now considered standard practice, and how that was developed at Semmes Murphey Clinic in the 1990s. He also highlights some of their partnerships and how the clinic is further involved in the community, like as a founding partner in the Medical Education and Research Institute (MERI) and with their Residency Program at UT Health Sciences Center.John then talks about the importance of being proactive with our health because problems with the spine often show up looking like something else, and he shares his own story and testimonial as a patient. He wraps up highlighting the Brain and Spine Network, a Center of Excellence program that Semmes Murphey Clinic and Baptist Memorial Health Care, another cityCURRENT partner, have structured for employers as an employer-based offering. Companies that join the Brain and Spine network can offer their employees direct access to high quality, non-invasive care for acute back and neck problems. John wraps up talking about the many benefits of helping employees with issues like back pain and headaches and how taking a proactive approach leads to fewer missed workdays and higher levels of performance, productivity, and happiness.Visit https://www.semmes-murphey.com/citycu... to learn more about the Center of Excellence program or visit www.semmes-murphey.com to learn more about Semmes Murphey Clinic.

Harvey Cushing: A Biography By John F. Fulton Read by Edison McDaniels, MD Coming soon to Audible! The 1946 biography of Harvey Cushing by John Fulton on audiobook for the first time ever! “The Power of One, the Impact of Many.” For neurosurgery, there is no individual who encapsulates the power of one better than Harvey Cushing. Cushing (1869-1939) is the founding father of modern neurosurgery and was remarkably productive even by today's standards. It is estimated that in addition to everything else he accomplished, he wrote the equivalent of 1,000 words a day for the entirety of his 70 years on this earth. He also operated on over 2,000 brain tumors (less than 5 attempts had been made to operate on any brain tumor before him, only one successfully). This was at a time without antibiotics, specialized imaging, blood transfusions, intensive care units, or anything more than primitive early anesthetic techniques. He quite literally invented modern brain surgery. HARVEY CUSHING, A BIOGRAPHY, by John Fulton.  • This is the definitive biography of Harvey Cushing, published in 1946. • First time ever on audio! • This is not an AI production. The voice is mine, and all technical aspects of the production are my own work. I am a team of 1. This is a highly polished presentation. • The audiobook is 45 hours in length..  • Listeners can go directly to individual chapters or any of the excerpts or bonus materials. The Story of a Great Medical Pioneer Written in 1946 by the eminent scholar and physiologist John F. Fulton, a man who knew and worked alongside Cushing, this is the definitive biography of one of the most significant figures in the history of medicine and surgery. Cushing's legacy is present in every operating room in the world everyday, for he was much more than the father of modern neurosurgery: among other innovations, he was the first to follow blood pressure during surgery and the first to develop a practical means of doing so. He was a pioneer in electrocautery, otherwise known as the electric knife, which is used in most operations today to control bleeding. He worked out the relationship between gigantism and pituitary tumors. These are just a few of the numerous innovations and discoveries he is credited with. He counted among his friends and patients many of the foremost physicians, statesmen, scientists, and scholars of his time. One of his daughter's married FDR's son. Included among the correspondence here are notes and letters with Sir William Osler (the father of modern internal medicine), Walter Reed (the man who conquered Yellow Fever), William H. Taft, The Mayo Brothers (founders of The Mayo Clinic), William Halsted (the father of modern surgery), and many, many more. This work will be of great interest to neurosurgeons, medical students, nurses, neurosurgical physician associates, medical product reps, and anyone with any interest in the history of medicine. Cushing knew everybody who was anybody in medicine during the first third of the 20th century and it's all described here in remarkable prose. There is much material here on the founding of the Johns Hopkins Medical School as well as the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston. Includes the founding of the the Cushing Brain Tumor Archive at Yale and The Harvey Cushing Society, now known as the AANS. It will be easily accessible and can be listened to in piecemeal fashion, such as to and from work for 10 minutes at a time, or on a long car ride or when traveling by plane for hours. A surprising amount of Cushing's advice remains relevant to today's physicians in general and neurosurgeons in particular. I am a board certified neurosurgeon. I am also an accomplished audiobook narrator. I developed this over the years as a hobby that I could work at at any hour of the day or night amidst the busy schedule of a practicing neurosurgeon. I have a professional recording studio in my home and have recorded over 50,000 minutes of spoken word audio.

Haematomyelia from Gunshot Wounds of the Spine. A Report of Two Cases, with Recovery following Symptoms of Hemilesion of the Cord. by Harvey Cushing, MD. Read by Edison McDaniels Listen at https://on.soundcloud.com/EhG7r On January 1st, 1896, Wilhelm Roentgen presented the first ever x-ray, an image of his wife Anna's left hand. Later that year, a young doctor by the name of Harvey Cushing—who would go on to become one of the most prolific surgeons in history and the father of modern neurosurgery, produced the image on the cover of this audiobook, the first ever clinical x-ray (they called them roentgenograms back then) of a gunshot wound to the neck and spine.  Harvey Cushing would go on to become the most noted neurosurgeon in the world and the father of modern brain surgery. He was relentless in his quest for perfection in everything he did. Along the way, his compassion, incredible powers of observation, profound stamina and fortitude, and an unrelenting tenacity in the face of even the most vexing clinical problems, all combined with a skill for writing that would have made him a world class author in whatever field he took up, led him to keep copious notes and diaries. He published many professional articles and several monographs in his lifetime. The one herein voiced was the first. Also available in audio from Harvey Cushing: THE LIFE OF SIR WILLIAM OSLER, Vol I & II, by Harvey Cushing. Almost 1,500 pages in length. Winner of the 1926 Pulitzer Prize for Biography.

O DESENVOLVIMENTO DA NEUROCIRURGIA MODERNA NO BRASIL As conquistas essenciais para o desenvolvimento da neurocirurgia moderna foram o avanço da cirurgia geral, especialmente a anestesia (Morton, 1846) e a antissepsia (Lister, 1867) e a teoria das localizações cerebrais (Broca, 1861)1,2. Ela foi estabelecida nas duas últimas décadas do século XIX e primeiras décadas do século XX graças, principalmente, aos pioneiros Victor Horsley (1857-1916) e Harvey Cushing (1864-1939)1-3. No Brasil, o nascimento da neurocirurgia dependeu também do desenvolvimento prévio da cirurgia e da anestesia. O ensino oficial da neurologia foi inaugurado no Brasil em 1912, quando da criação da Disciplina de Neurologia, distinta da Psiquiatria, na Faculdade de Medicina do Rio de Janeiro, sendo designado para regê-la Antônio Austregésilo Rodrigues Lima (1876 – 1961), que chefiava o Serviço de Neurologia da Santa Casa de Misericórdia do Rio de Janeiro4. A cirurgia moderna no Brasil teve início no final do século XIX, especialmente no Rio de Janeiro, com as obras de Cândido Borges Monteiro, Chapot-Prévost, Andrade Pertence, Domingos de Góes e Vasconcelos, Paes Leme e Augusto Brandão Filho5. Este último era denominado o Príncipe da Cirurgia Brasileira e pode ser considerado o precursor da neurocirurgia brasileira, pois foi o primeiro cirurgião geral a ir além da cirurgia craniana do trauma, tentando a cirurgia dos tumores cerebrais e da neuralgia do trigêmeo e iniciando, em nosso meio, os exames neurorradiológicos (ventriculografia e angiografia cerebral). No final da terceira década do século XX, a moderna cirurgia e a neurologia estavam bem assentadas em nosso meio, especialmente no Rio de Janeiro, propiciando as condições para o nascimento da neurocirurgia brasileira. O ano de 1928 pode ser considerado como a data crucial da neurocirurgia brasileira. Neste ano, Brandão Filho encontrava-se no auge de sua tentativa de tratamento cirúrgico dos tumores cerebrais e, enquanto realizava, sob a orientação de Egas Moniz (1874 – 1955), a primeira angiografia cerebral no país, Antônio Austregésilo encontrava-se visitando os serviços de neurocirurgia dos Estados Unidos. De regresso, convoca Alfredo Monteiro e José Ribe Portugal para o início da neurocirurgia brasileira como especialidade6. AUGUSTO BRANDÃO FILHO Augusto Brandão Filho (1881 – 1957) (Fig 1) foi professor de Clínica Cirúrgica da Faculdade Nacional de Medicina da Universidade do Brasil. Exerceu sua atividade cirúrgica no Hospital da Misericórdia, no Rio de Janeiro. Foi um dos mais hábeis cirurgiões de seu tempo e tinha também fino espírito científico. Foi o primeiro brasileiro a ir além da cirurgia do trauma e tentar o tratamento cirúrgico dos tumores cerebrais. Foi também o pioneiro dos exames neuroradiológicos em nosso país. Foi o primeiro a realizar no Brasil a ventriculografia e a angiografia cerebral. Na realização destes exames contou com a colaboração de dois grandes vultos da medicina. Na ventriculografia foi ajudado por Manoel de Abreu (1894 – 1962), futuro inventor, em 1936, da fotografia da imagem fluoroscópica, conhecida como abreugrafia7. Na angiografia cerebral foi auxiliado pelo próprio inventor do método, Egas Moniz8,9, que em 1928, encontrava-se em visita ao Brasil (Figs 2,3).Thumbnaila Leia mais aqui Autor luiscarlossilvalinsPublicado em10 de junho de 2021CategoriasMania de históriaTagsmedicina, NEUROCIRURGIA, NEUROCIRURGIÃO Obrigado pela sua participação!

In August 1923, President Calvin Coolidge's son died of blood poisoning from a blister after playing tennis. That a president's son could die of such a mundane illness shows the poor level of healthcare available at the time. In the beginning of the 1920's, the most advanced diagnostic test available was a plain xray—a dark, indistinct image not unlike looking through a fogged window at night. Indeed, the entire knowledge of x-rays was less than 20 years old. Except for picking out bacteria on a slide, there were no commonly used blood tests. Though the cause of infection was well known, there were no effective treatments against infectious disease. Penicillin was two decades in the future. Surgery had left the era of carbolic acid sprays and washes just a generation before. The vaunted age of asepsis was in its infancy. A few surgeons still operated in their bare hands. Blood typing was unknown. The concept of shock—the body's stereotypic stress reaction to excessive blood loss, was known, but its application was hit or miss. If a patient lost blood in surgery, there was no replacing it. If he lost too much blood, there was no replacing him. The practice of anesthesia was not scientific or even calibrated. A few drops of ether could make a patient sleep—a few too many drops and he'd sleep forever. The task of sleeping a patient was usually left to whoever might be available—regardless of knowledge or training. Sometimes it was the surgeon himself both passing the ether and wielding the knife. Vitals were monitored haphazardly. Death under anesthesia was a very real occurrence. In this fraught world of early 20th century medical madness, a few men stood apart and endured heaven and hell to usher in modern surgery. One such man was Harvey Cushing, and he was a surgeon. A brain surgeon. The world's first. These are his patients. The suffering is theirs. The empathy is his. The benefit is ours. //////////////////// THE SURGICAL FICTION PODCAST is narrated by Edison McDaniels. Edison McDaniels is a physician, surgeon, wordsmith, author, and audiobook narrator.

This episode we cover a brief overview of the history of neurosurgery, from ancient trephination through the contributions of Harvey Cushing in establishing the modern field. How far back were people doing surgery on the head? What was holding us back from doing real brain surgeries, and why did it not flourish until this century? Why was Harvey Cushing the perfect person to be the "father" of modern neurosurgery? References Used: Really good book (and not too long) going over the development of neurosurgery through time. Fascinating book with lots of detail covering the history of all aspects of neurosurgery. Goes into a lot of depth for each topic and technique. Also includes very nice pictures.

His work in the 1960s and 1970s earned him the reputation of "rock's first superstar drummer", for a style that melded jazz and African rhythms and pioneered both jazz fusion and world music. Baker's drumming is regarded for its style, showmanship, and use of two bass drums instead of the conventional one. Baker was an inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Cream, of the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 2008, and of the Classic Drummer Hall of Fame in 2016. Baker was noted for his eccentric, often self-destructive lifestyle, and he struggled with heroin addiction for many years. He was married four times and fathered three children. He died from illness on 6 October 2019 at the age of 80, at a hospital in Canterbury. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_Baker7 Oct 1959 – The Soviet probe Luna 3 transmits the first-ever photographs of the far side of the Moon. To achieve this, the probe was equipped with a dual-lens 35mm camera, one a 200mm, f/5.6 aperture, the other a 500mm, f/9.5. The photo sequencing was automatically triggered when Luna 3's photocell detected the sunlit far side, which occurred when the craft was passing about 40,000 miles above the lunar surface. The radio-controlled Luna 3 was part of the Soviet Union's highly successful lunar program, which completed 20 missions to the moon between January 1959 and October 1970. - https://www.wired.com/2011/10/1007luna-3-photos-dark-side-moon/Remembrances2 Oct 2019 - John Kirby, American attorney. He was most notable for his successful defense for Nintendo against Universal City Studios over the copyrightability of the character of Donkey Kong in 1984, from which Nintendo subsequently named the character Kirby to honour him. Kirby was considered to have "saved Nintendo" during its early growth into video games into the American market. In thanks for aiding them, Nintendo gave Kirby a $30,000 sailboat christened the Donkey Kong along with "exclusive worldwide rights to use the name for sailboats." He died from myelodysplastic syndrome at the age of 79. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kirby_(attorney)7 Oct 1849 - Edgar Allan Poe, American writer, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and of American literature as a whole, and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. He is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career. Poe and his works influenced literature around the world, as well as specialized fields such as cosmology and cryptography. He and his work appear throughout popular culture in literature, music, films, and television. Several of his homes are dedicated museums today. The Mystery Writers of America present an annual award known as the Edgar Award for distinguished work in the mystery genre. He died at the age of 40 in Baltimore, Maryland - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Allan_Poe7 Oct 1939 - Harvey Cushing, American neurosurgeon,pathologist, writer and draftsman. A pioneer of brain surgery, he was the first exclusive neurosurgeon and the first person to describe Cushing's disease. He wrote a biography of William Osler in three volumes. In the beginning of the 20th century, Dr. Cushing developed many of the basic surgical techniques for operating on the brain. This established him as one of the foremost leaders and experts in the field. Under his influence neurosurgery became a new and autonomous surgical discipline. He was the world's leading teacher of neurosurgeons in the first decades of the 20th century. Arguably, Cushing's greatest contribution came with his introduction to North America of blood pressure measurement. Cushing's name is commonly associated with his most famous discovery, Cushing's disease. In 1912 he reported in a study an endocrinological syndrome caused by a malfunction of the pituitary gland which he termed "polyglandular syndrome." He published his findings in 1932 as "The Basophil Adenomas of the Pituitary Body and Their Clinical Manifestations: pituitary Basophilism". Cushing developed many surgical instruments that are in use today, most notably Cushing forceps and the Cushing ventricular cannula. Cushing was also a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, nominated at least 38 times. He died from a heart attack at the age of 70 in New Haven, Connecticut - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_CushingFamous Birthdays7 Oct 1943 - Austin Stoker, Trinidadian-American actor known for his role as Lt. Ethan Bishop, the police officer in charge of the besieged Precinct 9, Division 13, in John Carpenter's Howard Hawks-inspired, 1976 film, Assault on Precinct 13. This was one of the few heroic starring roles for a black actor in an action film of the 1970s outside of the blaxploitation genre. Prior to his role as Lt. Bishop, Stoker appeared in several blaxploitation films, often playing police detectives. Among these films were Abby, Combat Cops, and Sheba, Baby, in which he played Pam Grier's love interest. Some of Stoker's other notable acting roles were in Battle for the Planet of the Apes, Horror High, Airport 1975, Victory at Entebbe, and the 1977 television mini-seriesRoots. Stoker is known to Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans for his role as Dr. Ken Melrose in the 1982 B-movie,Time Walker, in which he appeared with Darwin Joston, his co-star from Assault on Precinct 13. He was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_Stoker7 Oct 1947 - Lightning Bear, Native American stuntman, stunt coordinator and special effects artist. He performed stunts on Star Trek: The Original Series, as well as Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. He did not receive on-screen credit for his work. Lightning Bear did stunt work on several other television programs, including The Green Hornet, The Six Million Dollar Man, and Bonanza. He is perhaps most noted for his stunt work on the three original Star Wars films (A New Hope, 1977; The Empire Strikes Back, 1980; Return of the Jedi, 1983). Among the many other feature film productions, he worked on were Planet of the Apes (1968), Tora! Tora! Tora!, Diamonds Are Forever, The Poseidon Adventure, Saturday Night Fever, Ragtime, Conan the Barbarian, and Rocky IV. Lightning Bear says he has been very lucky in his life as the industry is and always has been his first love. He likes the way it is always changing with new methods and technology, never having the same circumstance or conditions and the ability to travel and see different countries, cultures, people and locations. He was born in Houston, Texas- https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Lightning_Bear- https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0510019/7 Oct 1885 - Niels Henrik David Bohr, Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research. Bohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, in which he proposed that energy levels of electrons are discrete and that the electrons revolve in stable orbits around the atomic nucleus but can jump from one energy level (or orbit) to another. Although the Bohr model has been supplanted by other models, its underlying principles remain valid. He conceived the principle of complementarity: that items could be separately analysed in terms of contradictory properties, like behaving as a wave or a stream of particles. The notion of complementarity dominated Bohr's thinking in both science and philosophy. He predicted the existence of a new zirconium-like element, which was named hafnium, after the Latin name for Copenhagen, where it was discovered. Later, the element bohrium was named after him. He was involved with the establishment of CERN and the Research Establishment Risø of the Danish Atomic Energy Commission and became the first chairman of the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in 1957. He was born in Copenhagen - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels_BohrEvents of Interest6 Oct 2009 - The Maze Runner a young adult dystopian science fiction novel written by American author James Dashner was first published. His publisher wanted him to write another book, but he decided he would try for a national book market instead. In November of that year he had an idea when going to be "about a bunch of teenagers living inside an unsolvable Maze full of hideous creatures, in the future, in a dark, dystopian world. It would be an experiment, to study their minds. Terrible things would be done to them – awful things; completely hopeless – until the victims turn everything on its head." Dashner wrote the book from December 2005 to March 2006. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Maze_Runner7 Oct 1856 - Cyrus Chambers Jr patents folding machine that folds book & newspapers- http://www.mainlinetoday.com/Main-Line-Today/July-2017/Inventor-Cyrus-Chambers-Transformed-the-17th-Century-Milling-Industry/– Patent (s) - https://patents.google.com/patent/US164904- https://patents.google.com/patent/US30910- https://patents.google.com/patent/US104621A/en- https://patents.google.com/patent/US234457 Oct 1988 – A Inupiaq hunter Roy Ahmaogak discovered three gray whales trapped in pack ice in the Beaufort Sea near Point Barrow in the U.S. state of Alaska; the situation becomes a multinational effort to free the whales. The whales' plight generated media attention that led to the collaboration of multiple governments and organizations to free them. The operation was called operation breakthrough.

El trauma a la cabeza, o lesión cerebral traumática, ocurre cuando el sistema nervioso central se afecta debido a un trauma cerrado o abierto. Las lesiones a la piel, aunque sean en la cabeza, no implican lesión al sistema nervioso central. Muchas veces decimos "trauma a la cabeza" cuando en realidad deberíamos ser más específicos... lesión cerebral traumática, o trauma craneoencefálico. Para entender la solución, hay que entender el problema primero. El problema del trauma craneoencefálico es que la presión intracranial aumenta y el cerebro deja de recibir flujo de sangre (disminuye la perfusión cerebral). El curso de Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) enseña el manejo y resucitación de este paciente. Presión intracranial El cráneo es una bóveda cerrada. No se expande cuando la presión interna aumenta. Cualquier lesión que provoque un efecto de masa dentro del cráneo va a provocar comenzar a hacer presión a las estructuras internas, que incluyen el cerebro, el líquido cerebroespinal y los vasos sanguíneos. El aumento en la presión intracranial va a provocar una disminución en el espacio que tienen los vasos sanguíneos para fluir sangre... es decir, disminuye la perfusión cerebral. A esto se le conoce como la doctrina Monroe-Kellie. Presión de perfusión cerebral = (presión arterial) - (presión intracranial) Si usted entiende esta fórmula, entiende el concepto básico del trauma a la cabeza. En palabras simples, la presión de perfusión cerebral es la presión que tiene que tener la tubería para que haya flujo de sangre al cerebro. Este número siempre tiene que ser positivo. Si la presión de perfusión cerebral baja a cero, perdimos al paciente porque no hay perfusión cerebral. La presión de perfusión cerebral se basa solamente en dos factores: presión arterial y la presión intracranial. La presión arterial es la fuerza del flujo hacia el cerebro. La presión intracranial se opone al flujo. Para que el resultado sea un valor positivo, la presión arterial tiene que ser un valor mayor, y la presión intracranial tiene que ser un valor pequeño. Si la presión intracranial aumenta, matemáticamente hablando, la presión de perfusión cerebral va a disminuir. El único mecanismo que tiene el cuerpo para evitar que esto ocurra es el aumentar la presión arterial. Cuando esto ocurra, el flujo hacia el cerebro debe mejorar. El problema es que si hay una lesión cerebral con un sangrado activo, entonces el restablecimiento del flujo cerebral implica que el sangrado va a continuar. Si el sangrado continua, sigue aumentando la presión intracranial. El aumento en la presión intracranial va a provocar mayor aumento en la presión sanguínea, tal y como está descrito arriba. Esto va a ocurrir hasta que el cuerpo no pueda compensar más. Herniación cerebral El único escape, como parte de la progresión natural de la enfermedad, a una presión intracranial insostenible, es la herniación cerebral. La herniación cerebral ocurre cuando el tallo cerebral intenta salir por el foramen magno hacia el cordón espinal. Este proceso provoca daño en las estructuras cerebrales. El tallo cerebral y el cerebelo son las dos partes más cercanas al foramen magno y tendrán serios daños si el cerebro se hernia. Dos de las funciones más importantes que se afectan son el sistema de activación reticular y el centro de control de la respiración. Esto significa que el paciente gradualmente pierde la consciencia y deja de respirar en la medida en que el cerebro se va presionando hacia el punto de herniación. https://youtu.be/bA1OOQ4gkdc Hipoventilación provoca vasodilatación Los niveles de CO2 alteran la circulación cerebral. Si el CO2 aumenta, la vasculatura cerebral se dilata. Viceversa, si el CO2 disminuye, la circulación cerebral se contrae. Si el paciente deja de respirar efectivamente (no se deshace del CO2 que tiene acumulado), el nivel de CO2 aumenta dentro del cuerpo. El aumento en CO2 provoca vasodilatación, y esto a su vez provoca un mayor aumento en la presión intracranial. Mayor aumento en la presión intracranial provoca mayor herniación, que a su vez provoca más presión sobre el centro de control de la respiración, que a su vez provoca menor capacidad de ventilar, que a su vez provoca mayor vasodilatación, que a su vez provoca mayor sangrado, que a su vez provoca mayor presión intracranial, que a su vez... provoca un ciclo sin fin que termina en la muerte cerebral. ¿Cómo se vería el paciente? En base a esto, podemos predecir la presentación del paciente que se está herniando. Alteración en nivel de consciencia (inconsciente probablemente) Hipertensión Patrón respiratorio alterado Bradicardia Ya hemos explicado por qué se afecta la consciencia (debido al efecto de la presión sobre el sistema de activación reticular). También hemos explicado por qué ocurre la hipertensión, como mecanismo de defensa para mantener la presión de perfusión cerebral. La bradicardida ocurre porque los baroreceptores en la aorta y la carótida sienten el aumento en la presión sanguínea y estimulan el corazón a latir más lento como medida compensatoria. Patrón respiratorio alterado de Cheyne-Stokes El fallo del centro de control de la respiración se manifiesta en la forma de patrones de respiración alterados. Uno de los patrones posibles en este caso se llama Cheyne-Stokes. El patrón de Cheyne-Stokes es un patrón de dificultad respiratoria que va progresivamente aumentando hasta que se va en apnea, y se repite de forma indefinida. https://youtu.be/eAx4fxy7WbA https://youtu.be/VkuxP7iChYY Triada de Cushing El neurocirujano Harvey Cushing describió en el 1901 su famosa triada de signos que sugieren una herniación inminente. Su descripción fue: Hipertensión Bradicardia Respiraciones irregulares ¿Lesiones visibles? La lesión cerebral traumática puede no necesariamente ser aparente a simple vista. Los traumas abiertos a la cabeza producen sangre visible y esta puede ser la alerta al personal para que evalúe la probabilidad de que haya lesión al cerebro. Algunos traumas cerrados pueden producir signos visibles. Por ejemplo, las fracturas de la base de cráneo pueden producir hematomas alrededor de la base del cráneo que pueden ser observables desde afuera en el área retroauricular (signo de Battle) y como periocular (signo de mapache). https://youtu.be/yRg6IbwuytE https://youtu.be/MjYXoWHWQWk No todas las lesiones cerebrales traumáticas producen fractura en la base del cráneo. Por lo tanto, estos signos solo ocurren en la población que sí haya tenido este tipo de trauma. El paciente con aumento en la presión intracranial va a tener múltiples amenazas a la vida identificables en el tradicional A-B-C de trauma, por lo tanto, la evaluación del paciente no varía. La alteración en el estado de consciencia va a provocar que no pueda proteger su propia vía aérea. Si el paciente tiene un estado mental severamente deteriorado, es probable que se decida proteger la vía aérea. Fundamentos del tratamiento CPP = MAP - ICP Esa es la fórmula mágica para entender el problema y entender el tratamiento. Veamos cada componente por separado. ICP - Presión intracranial elevada El tratamiento definitivo es reducir el aumento en la presión intracranial. Una de las formas para hacer esto es drenar el sangrado dentro del quirófano. Si el paciente no está en un hospital con capacidad de neurocirugía, ¿qué pasa que no está en movimiento hacia allá? Si el paciente está aún fuera del hospital, es importante que se inicie el transporte de inmediato. Probablemente está solamente en las manos del neurocirujano el control definitivo del sangrado y de la presión intracranial. Pero lo que sí está en el control del proveedor a nivel PHTLS y ATLS el evitar que aumente más. El mannitol o la salina hipertónica (NaCl 3%) puede ser una opción para ayudar a drenar el edema asociado al trauma que contribuye al aumento en la presión intracranial. De más está decir que no se debe permitir nada que aumente la presión intracranial. Por ejemplo, un aumento en el hematoma intracranial seguramente aumentará la presión intracranial. Por ende, es sumamente importante que llegue a la facilidad adecuada para que puedan identificar la fuente del sangrado y controlarlo. Otra causa común de aumento en presión intracranial es las convulsiones asociadas al mismo aumento en la presión intracranial. Las benzodiazepinas pueden ayudar a aumentar el umbral de inicio de las convulsiones y disminuir la probabilidad de que ocurran. Durante la intubación endotraqueal, las fasciculaciones por usar succinilcolina, o la laringoscopía en un paciente que no está completamente inconsciente y relajado, puede aumentar la presión intracranial. Este paciente no debe ir a cualquier hospital. Debe ir a un centro de trauma con capacidad de intervención neuroquirúrgica. Desafortunadamente a veces estas facilidades pueden quedar algo distantes por lo que se hace ideal el transporte aeromédico. Los pacientes con trauma a la cabeza deben ser aerotransportados lo más cerca posible a la altura del nivel del mar. La altura puede aumentar la presión intracranial. Presión sanguínea La presión sanguínea está protegiendo el paciente. Si perdemos la presión sanguínea, perdemos el cerebro. Por lo tanto, es importante evitar cualquier evento que disminuya la presión sanguínea. Tenga mucho cuidado a la hora de seleccionar agentes de inducción para manejar la vía aérea que puedan causar hipotensión. Controle cualquier sangrado activo. Lesión primaria y ¿secundaria? La lesión primaria es el trauma ocurrido al momento. Por ejemplo, es el sangrado epidural que está creando efecto de masa y aumento en la presión intracranial. La lesión secundaria es todo aquello que agrave la lesión primaria. Es decir, todo lo que disminuya la presión sanguínea o aumente la presión intracranial. Evaluación primaria: ¿Qué puede complicar el paciente? La evaluación del paciente comienza con el ABC (vía aérea, respiración y circulación). El manejo inicial del paciente con trauma a la cabeza requiere que se controle cualquier amenaza al ABC ya que estas son causas proximales de muerte. Vía aérea La profunda alteración en el estado de consciencia de este paciente progresivamente provocará una pérdida del control autónomo de la vía aérea. Como dijimos anteriormente, el aumento en el CO2 va a provocar vasodilatación. El no manejar la vía aérea a tiempo va a ser causa del deterioro agudo de este paciente. Ahora bien, los detalles son importantes. Aunque el manejo de este paciente pueda requerir la eventual intubación endotraqueal, es importante evitar que el intento por intubar el paciente no provoque complicaciones. Algunas de las complicaciones asociadas a la intubación endotraqueal son: Hipoxia Hipercarbia Hipotensión La intubación en secuencia rápida (la administración simultánea de un agente de inducción + un bloqueador neuromuscular despolarizante o no-despolarizante para inducir inconsciencia flácida) es probablemente tanto la forma correcta como la forma en que se puede causar los efectos antes mencionados si no se realiza correctamente. Ventilaciones La pérdida del control de la respiración provocará un pobre intercambio de gases. La pérdida de la respiración provocará más disminución en el O2 y un aumento en el CO2. La falla en corregir esto va a provocar mayor aumento en la presión intracranial y por ende la muerte del paciente. La ventilación, ya sea manual o mecánica, debe mantener el CO2 entre 35-40 mmHg. La disminución por debajo de 35 mmHg indica hiperventilación. La hiperventilación provoca vasoconstricción cerebral. La vasoconstricción que se provoca al hiperventilar al paciente es bueno por un lado pero muy malo por otro. En teoría, la vasoconstricción puede ayudar a disminuir el sangrado, y por ende, disminuir el aumento en la presión intracranial. El problema es que la vasoconstricción provoca isquemia especialmente en áreas que no están directamente afectadas. La vasoconstricción puede provocar un aumento en el daño en las partes no directamente afectadas. Por lo tanto, inicialmente no se recomienda la hiperventilación controlada. Sin embargo, si el paciente muestra signos de herniación, la hiperventilación puede ser una medida transitoria para arrestar la progresión del aumento en la presión intracranial. Usted sabe que está llevando a cabo una hiperventilación controlada si obtiene niveles de EtCO2 entre 30 y 35 mmHg. Circulación Es importante recordar que la perfusión cerebral se está manteniendo gracias al aumento en la presión sanguínea. Si se pierde la presión sanguínea, automáticamente se pierde la perfusión cerebral en la simple ecuación descrita arriba. Las guías más recientes de la Brain Trauma Foundation recomiendan un mínimo de presión sistólica de 110 mmHg en pacientes entre 15 y 49 años de edad (o más de 70), al menos 100 mmHg para pacientes entre 50 y 69 años de edad. Esta es una nueva recomendación diferente a lo que antes se recomendaba de mínimo 90 mmHg. Por lo tanto es importante controlar todo sangrado de forma rápida. Un paciente con trauma a la cabeza y signos de shock está sangrando por otro lugar que no es la cabeza (hasta que se demuestre lo contrario). Aunque un sangrado del cuero cabelludo puede ser, en algunos casos, significativo, los sangrados intracraniales no producen shock hipovolémico. Por ende es importante buscar otros posibles sangrados activos tales como el torso, pélvis, y/o múltiples huesos largos. Métodos de monitoreo El monitoreo invasivo de la presión intracranial probablemente es una de las formas más fáciles de monitoreo continuo, para el proveedor que puede hacerlo. https://youtu.be/q7nJEMyqWwo La alteración en el estado de consciencia es el signo más temprano de aumento en la presión intracranial. Es por esta razón que el PHTLS recomienda el monitoreo continuo del nivel de consciencia (inicialmente con la escala AVDI y/o con la Escala de Coma de Glasgow) para detectar los signos iniciales de deterioro. Una disminución de menos de 2 puntos o más en la Escala de Coma de Glasgow sugiere un aumento significativo en la presión intracranial. Una disminución de 2 puntos o más, partiendo de una puntuación inicial de 8 o menos, sugiere inicios de herniación. Conclusión La fórmula de CPP = MAP - ICP y la Doctrina Monroe-Kellie explican la fisiopatología del trauma craneoencefálico. La evaluación inicial y resucitación que enseña el PHTLS presenta el mejor abordaje inicial para este tipo de paciente críticamente lesionado. Referencias Brain Trauma Foundation PHTLS
