Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension and Multi-Level Cervical and Lumbar Epidur...
Parra, A; Relvas, F; Pereira, P; Carrilho, ASpontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a neurologic condition where the intracranial pressure is reduced due to a loss of cerebrospinal fluid from its reservoir, the intrathecal space, to surrounding tissues. It is commonly characterized by an incapacitating headache, phono-photophobia, nausea, and vomiting, commonly refractory to medical treatment and requires further investigation. We describe the case...
Portuguese Consensus and Recommendations for Acquired Coagulopathic Bleeding Ma...
Gomes, M; Rodrigues, A; Carrilho, A; Aguiar, J; Gonçalves, L; Fernandez-Llimos, F; Duarte-Ramos, F; Rodrigues, JWe aimed to determine how Portuguese physicians handle major bleeding. We also aim to establish global diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations to be followed in clinical practice by using a step-wise approach of evidence generation. This study followed a three-step process: a steering committee desk review, a Delphi technique, an expert panel meeting. A modified 3-round Delphi including 31 statements was per...

Interventional Algorithms for the Control of Coagulopathic Bleeding in Surgical...
Carvalho, M; Rodrigues, A; Gomes, M; Carrilho, A; Robalo Nunes, A; Orfão, R; Alves, Â; Aguiar, J; Campos, MSeveral clinical settings are associated with specific coagulopathies that predispose to uncontrolled bleeding. With the growing concern about the need for optimizing transfusion practices and improving treatment of the bleeding patient, a group of 9 Portuguese specialists (Share Network Group) was created to discuss and develop algorithms for the clinical evaluation and control of coagulopathic bleeding in the...
