Noninvasive intracranial pressure monitoring methods: a critical review
Moraes,Fabiano Moulin de; Silva,Gisele SampaioABSTRACT Background: Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring has been used for decades in management of various neurological conditions. The gold standard for measuring ICP is a ventricular catheter connected to an external strain gauge, which is an invasive system associated with a number of complications. Despite its limitations, no noninvasive ICP monitoring (niICP) method fulfilling the technical requirement...
Blood pressure behavior during mechanical thrombectomy and drugs used for consc...
Oliveira,Ráissa Soraya Souza de; Ciarlariello,Vinícius Boaratti; Martins,Hanna Nery Ferraz; Lobato,Michelle dos SantosABSTRACT Background: The optimal blood pressure (BP) during mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke is currently unclear. Objective: To investigate BP behavior during mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke and its relationship with drugs used for sedation or general anesthesia. Additionally, we investigated the association between BP oscillation during mechanical thrombectomy a...
Heart rate variability as an autonomic biomarker in ischemic stroke
Buitrago-Ricaurte,Natalia; Cintra,Fátima; Silva,Gisele SampaioABSTRACT Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide. Autonomic dysfunction after ischemic stroke is frequently associated with cardiac complications and high mortality. The brain-heart axis is a good model for understanding autonomic interaction between the autonomic central network and the cardiovascular system. Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis is a non-invasive approach for...
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: current concepts and updates
Rouanet,Carolina; Silva,Gisele SampaioABSTRACT Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a condition with a considerable incidence variation worldwide. In Brazil, the exact epidemiology of aneurysmal SAH is unknown. The most common presenting symptom is headache, usually described as the worst headache ever felt. Head computed tomography, when performed within six hours of the ictus, has a sensitivity of nearly 100%. It is important to classify the hem...

Gagliardi,Rubens José; Raffin,Cesar Noronha; Noujaim,Jorge El Kadum; Bacellar,Aroldo Luiz Silva; Freitas,Gabriel Rodriguez de; Oliveira-Filho,JamaryABSTRACT The present article provides the historical background of the Sociedade Brasileira de Doenças Cerebrovasculares (Brazilian Society for Cerebrovascular Diseases), including details on its function, structure, challenges and main achievements.
Get With The Guidelines®–Stroke performance indicators in patients with transie...
Schneider,Lorena Souza Viana; Ciarlariello,Vinicius Boaratti; Miranda,Renata Carolina Acri Nunes; Vaccari,Andreia Heins; Massaud,Rodrigo MeirellesABSTRACT Get With The Guidelines®–Stroke is an in-hospital program for improving stroke care by promoting adherence to scientific guidelines. Of the patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA), 10-15% have a stroke within three months, and many patients do not receive the recommended interventions to prevent this outcome. Objective: The goal of this study was to assess the adherence to stroke quality indicato...
Intracranial pressure following decompressive hemicraniectomy for malignant cer...
Funchal,Bruno Ferreira; Alves,Maramélia Miranda; Suriano,Ítalo C.; Chaddad-Neto,Feres Eduardo; Ferraz,Maria E. M. R.; Silva,Gisele SampaioABSTRACT Decompressive craniectomy (DC) reduces mortality and improves outcome in patients with massive brain infarctions. The role of intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring following DC for stroke has not been well established. Methods: We evaluated 14 patients admitted to a tertiary hospital with malignant middle cerebral artery infarctions, from October 2010 to February 2015, who underwent DC and had ICP mon...
Success of promotion strategies for a stroke rehabilitation protocol
Pires,Danielle Silveira; Boasquevisque,Danielle De Sá; Speciali,Danielli Souza; Silva,Gisele Sampaio; Conforto,Adriana BastosSUMMARY OBJECTIVE To prospectively evaluate the success of promotion strategies for a protocol of motor rehabilitation strategies for patients with stroke at Albert Einstein Hospital. METHODS In a clinical trial of neuromodulation and rehabilitation for patients with stroke, conventional methods of dissemination and publications about the research protocol in social networks or on the hospital’s website were pe...
Patients with sickle cell disease are frequently excluded from the benefits of ...
Rodrigues,Daniela Laranja Gomes; Adegoke,Samuel Ademola; Campos,Rejane de Souza Macedo; Braga,Josefina Aparecida Pellegrini; Figueiredo,Maria StellaABSTRACT Transcranial doppler (TCD) is a strategic component of primary stroke prevention in children with sickle cell disease (SCD). This study was conducted to examine the TCD characteristics of children with SCD in nine different medical centers in Brazil. Methods: Transcranial doppler was performed in accordance with the Stroke Prevention Trial in Sickle Cell Anemia Protocol. Results: Of the 396 patients, 6...
Brazilian guidelines for endovascular treatment of patients with acute ischemic...
Pontes-Neto,Octávio Marques; Cougo,Pedro; Martins,Sheila Cristina Ouriques; Abud,Daniel G.; Nogueira,Raul G.; Miranda,MaraméliaABSTRACT These guidelines are the result of a joint effort from writing groups of the Brazilian Stroke Society, the Scientific Department of Cerebrovascular Diseases of the Brazilian Academy of Neurology, the Brazilian Stroke Network and the Brazilian Society of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Neuroradiology. Members from these groups participated in web-based discussion forums with predefined themes, followed by vi...
