or the presence of coagulopathy [140, 141]. Patients are at high risk if they have two of the following risk factors: GCS <10, head or spinal cord injury, high-dose corti­costeroids (>250mg/day of hydrocortisone or equivalent), history of GI bleeding within 1year, hypotension, ICU admission >1week, ileus, major surgery, multiple­organ failure, myocardial infarction, renal or hepatic failure, sepsis, severe burns (>35% body surface area), solid-organ transplant, and trauma [131, 137, 140142].
The Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines recommend the use of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) or histamine 2-receptor antagonist (H2RA) for stress ulcer prophy­laxis [143]. Both medication classes lead to the inhibition of gastric acid secretion and an increase in gastric pH.Proton pump inhibitors block the hydrogen-potassium ATPase pump, while H2RAs bind to the histamine-2 receptor on parietal cells and inhibit the pathway histamine utilizes to stimulate proton pump activity. Sucralfate has also been used for SUP; however; it requires gastric access. The use of sucral­fate is limited in the ICUs, as many have moved to jejunal nutrition to reduce aspira­tion. The choice of agent can vary per institution and patient population and should take into account administration, adverse effects, drug interactions, and cost. Many institutions will elect to administer pantoprazole orally or intravenously and lanso­prazole enterally as a suspension. Compared to cimetidine and ranitidine, famoti­dine has a longer duration of action and fewer drug interactions involving the cytochrome P-450 hepatic enzyme system [144]. Combined with this and its gen­eral tolerability, famotidine is frequently the preferred H2RA.Table16.8 highlights the dosing of agents used for stress ulcer prophylaxis.
Despite the benets of these agents in preventing stress ulcers, concerns regard­ing the association between non-judicious acid suppression and increased risk of bacterial infections, particularly pneumonia and Clostridioides difcile, exist. The risk of infection is thought to be higher with the PPIs than the H2RAs. Additionally, both classes of agents have been associated with thrombocytopenia in case reports and case series. However, larger analyses were not able to conrm this concern. In most of the reports describing thrombocytopenia, patients had additional risk

factors that could have caused or contributed to the development of thrombocytope­nia. As such, the risks and benets need to be considered. Therapy should be initi­ated and discontinued as applicable to the clinical situation. The pharmacist can play an important role in managing appropriate stress ulcer therapy.

16.7.5 Tranexamic Acid

Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a synthetic lysine analogue that competitively inhibits the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. This reduces the proteolytic action of plasmin on brin clots, resulting in an inhibition of brinolysis [145, 146]. It has been shown to reduce surgical bleeding and decrease mortality in patients with extracranial bleeding [147, 148]. Intracranial bleeding starts at the moment of impact and can continue for several hours after injury [149, 150]. Increased brino­lysis is often observed in TBI patients and predicts hemorrhagic expansion [151]. It has been proposed that early administration of TXA could prevent or decrease hem­orrhagic expansion and therefore herniation and death.
The CRASH-3 trial concluded that the risk of death was reduced with early tranexamic acid use in patients with mild-to-moderate head injury. TXA should be administered as a loading dose of 1g over 10min, started within 3h of injury, fol­lowed by a continuous infusion of 1g over the next 8h. However, the use of TXA in isolated TBI remains controversial due to several questions regarding the effect size, mortality only being observed in subgroups, quality of survival, mid-study protocol changes, safety, and other concerns about CRASH-3 and TXA use in gen­eral [152, 153]. A subsequent meta-analysis of 9 studies including CRASH-3 data concluded that in acute TBI patients, TXA may decrease hematoma expansion but probably has no effect on mortality or disability [154]. If TXA is to be considered, it is recommended to use it in moderate TBI patients with GCS 9–12 and preserved pupillary reactivity. What is likely to have more of an impact is limiting secondary brain injuries by preventing hypotension, hypoxemia, and pyrexia insults [7,
153, 155].

16.7.6 Glucose Targets

Acute hyperglycemia after TBI is common and has been associated with poor out­comes [156158]. An early surge in sympathetic activity leads to an increase in systemic circulating catecholamines. The degree of sympathoadrenal response appears to increase linearly with the severity of the brain injury [159]. The catechol­amine surge occurs within minutes of the insult and may be transient, while the circulating glucose surge that follows soon after is sustained. Studies indicate that hyperglycemia is harmful because it contributes to anaerobic metabolism in the brain, resulting in brain tissue lactic acidosis and secondary neuronal injury
418

[160162]. However, data also suggests that moderate hyperglycemia may be nec­essary during acute TBI because glucose is the only energy source for the brain, and its utilization signicantly increases to meet energy demands immediately follow­ing injury [163, 164]. It is unclear as to what level of hyperglycemia should be treated and if it will improve or worsen outcomes.
Tight glycemic control has been shown to increase global glucose uptake and increase cerebral metabolic distress after TBI [165]. Additionally, reduced CSF microdialysis levels of glucose after TBI have been demonstrated [166, 167]. Persistent low levels of glucose independently predict poor outcomes. Decreases in microdialysis glucose levels can be due to several causes, including brain ischemia, herniation, and seizures. Given that these processes could be occurring and that the brain has an increased need for glucose, it is reasonable to assume that a reduction in glucose supply would be harmful.
The BTF Guidelines do not provide a specic recommendation for glycemic control due to insufcient evidence. The 2024 Society of Critical Care Medicine Guidelines on Glycemic Control for Critically Ill Children and Adults state that “analysis from neurological ICUs yielded comparable ndings, and these patients should be managed like unselected patients.” The guidelines recom­mend treating persistent hyperglycemia greater than or equal to 180mg/dL in critically ill adults. For the acute management of hyperglycemia, the guideline suggests using an IV insulin infusion vs. subcutaneous insulin. The recom­mended target glucose ranges are 140–200mg/dL vs. 80–139mg/dL in order to decrease the risk of hypoglycemia. While managing hyperglycemia with an IV insulin infusion, 1 h, continuous, or near-continuous glucose monitoring should occur.

16.7.7 Steroids

The only level 1 recommendation in the BTF Guidelines is against the use of steroids for improving outcomes or reducing ICP. In severe TBI, high-dose methylprednisolone was associated with increased mortality. Since the 1950s, glucocorticoids have been used to provide symptomatic relief to patients with brain tumors. A large portion of patients will experience symptomatic edema, which often produces a mass effect larger than the tumor [168]. This mass effect can lead to headaches and neurological deficits. Based on the benefits observed in patients with brain tumors in the perioperative phase, their use became common in other neurosurgical procedures and in the treatment of TBI.A systematic review in 1997 showed no benefit for improving outcomes in TBI patients; however, the authors recommended a larger trial to confirm these results [169].
The Corticosteroid Randomization After Signicant Head Injury (CRASH) trial was an international, multicenter, randomized controlled trial of methylpredniso­lone in patients with TBI. The trial evaluated 10,008 adult hospitalized patients
16 Traumatic Brain Injury
within 8h of injury with a GCS <14. Patients received methylprednisolone 2g IV followed by 0.4mg/h for 48h or placebo. The study was stopped early due to the increased risk of death in the steroid group [125, 167]. Six-month follow-up con­rmed a higher risk of death.

16.8 Complications

16.8.1 Paroxysmal Sympathetic Hyperactivity

Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) is a syndrome that occurs in 8–10% of patients with TBI and is characterized by episodes of hypertension, tachypnea, hyperthermia, diaphoresis, and dystonic posturing [170, 171]. These episodes may last from minutes to hours and can occur several times a day or, in refractory cases, nearly continuously. It is associated with greater morbidity, increased healthcare costs, longer hospitalizations, and worse outcomes. Uncontrolled symptoms can lead to secondary brain injury from hypertension, hyperthermia, cardiac damage, and death [172]. Detailed descriptions of the time course of PSH are difcult to nd in the literature. One study showed that the rst episode occurred on average
5.9±3.7days after injury [173]. It may persist into the rehabilitation phase and may last for weeks to months after the injury. In severe cases, it may persist for more than 1year [173, 174].
Signicant risk factors for developing PSH after TBI include the severity of the initial brain injury, younger age, and male gender. Most agree that PSH is caused by a functional disconnection leading to unbalanced activation of brainstem systems controlling the autonomic nervous system. PSH can be caused by different mecha­nisms of injury in different locations, explaining the variability in symptoms and severity. Regardless of the lesion location, the nal common pathway is an imbal­ance of adrenergic outow.
Symptom-based ndings are used for the early identication of PSH. As such, PSH is frequently only recognized once the patient begins to awaken. Diagnosis is often one of exclusion and recognition of a recurring pattern. An expert consensus group proposed the use of the PSH assessment measure (PSH-AM) tool shown in Table16.9, which is a clinical scoring system used for probabilistic diagnosis [171]. There are two components in the PSH-AM tool; the clinical feature scale (CFS) assesses the severity of clinical features and motor activity, and the diagnosis likeli­hood tool (DLT) measures the presence of compatible features of PSH. Combined scores indicate the diagnostic likelihood of PSH as unlikely, possible, or probable. This assessment tool should be used on a daily basis in the ICU and through the rehabilitation phase.
Management of PSH requires a combination of pharmacological and nonphar­macological treatment modalities. The etiology of PSH is not well understood, which makes treatment difcult. Therapy focuses on the control of symptoms. A combination of medications from different classes is tried based on symptoms and

individualized to the patient. Pharmacological management of PSH focuses on symptom management, prevention of symptoms, and treatment of refractory issues. Optimizing outcomes with medications and minimizing side effects are important. A combination of short-acting medications for termination of symptoms should be used with long-acting agents to prevent symptoms. Intravenous medications and continuous infusions should be added for refractory symptoms. Table 16.10 high­lights the commonly used medications used to treat PSH and the symptoms they treat via their proposed mechanism.
Symptoms are often triggered by minimal external stimuli from routine patient care. Because of this, patients can be placed on minimal stimulation protocols to reduce the number of times interventions are performed.

16.8.2 Infections inTBI Patients
Patients with TBI can be hospitalized for long periods, and they are exposed to nosocomial infections due to the need for mechanical ventilation and urinary cath­eters [175177]. Nosocomial infections affect approximately 30% of patients in the ICU, while they affect up to 50% of TBI patients [178180]. Infections can develop in severe TBI patients due to extracranial injuries; however, the TBI injury can con­tribute to infections due to its ability to cause immunosuppression [181, 182].
Infections of concern in TBI patients include those related to the EVD, ventricu­litis, and meningitis. Reported ventriculostomy-related infection (VRI) rates are as high as 32%; however, rates of less than 10% are most often reported [128, 183,
184]. Empiric therapy for healthcare-associated ventriculitis and meningitis includes
vancomycin plus an anti-pseudomonal β-lactam (cefepime, ceftazidime, or merope­nem) per the 2017 IDSA guidelines [185]. In patients with allergies to β-lactams who are not able to tolerate meropenem or if it is contraindicated, ciprooxacin or aztreonam is recommended. In patients with infections due to Candida species, liposomal amphotericin B combined with 5-ucytosine is recommended initially; once clinical improvement is demonstrated, therapy may be changed to uconazole based on susceptibilities.
When treating infections in the neuro ICU, the possibility of neurotoxicity with β-lactams should be considered. Patients should be monitored for decreased levels of consciousness, nonconvulsive status epilepticus, myoclonus, and new-onset psy­chiatric disorders [186, 187]. Beta-lactams competitively inhibit the gamma­aminobutyric acid A (GABAA) receptor, which could lead to the neurotoxicity [188190]. However, higher serum concentrations of β-lactams have been associ­ated with neurotoxicity, predominantly in the setting of renal failure [191]. Of the β-lactams, cefepime is most often associated with neurotoxicity [191196]. Cefepime-induced neurotoxicity has been associated with supratherapeutic levels as
422
well as total exposure, dened by duration of therapy [191]. Risk factors associated with β-lactam neurotoxicity include age, baseline cognitive dysfunction, inappro­priate dosing, and kidney dysfunction [197]. Because of the risk of neurotoxicity with any of the β-lactam, appropriate dose adjustments should be made in patients with renal dysfunction. Additionally, patients should be monitored for signs of neurotoxicity.

16.8.3 Central Fever

Fever affects approximately 70% of critically ill patients at some point during their hospital admission. In neuro ICU patients, only 50% of fevers are associated with an infection [198]. Fever in brain injury patients leads to larger infarct size in isch­emic stroke patients, poorer outcomes in the acute phase of brain injury, and increased mortality [199].
Central or neurogenic fever is a noninfectious source of fever in TBI patients. Studies have reported the incidence ranges from 4% to 37% in TBI survivors [200, 201]. It is likely the result of an injury to the hypothalamus leading to a disruption in the hypothalamic set point temperature and an abnormal increase in body temperature. It is often characterized by bradycardia, lack of perspira­tion, high temperatures, and a plateau-like temperature curve that persists for days to weeks [200, 202]. However, others report that it results in high tempera­tures, tachycardia, hyperhidrosis, hypertension, and sometimes seizures [200,
202204].
There are several etiologies of fever in ICU patients, including infection, venous thromboembolism, medications, surgery, atelectasis, and PSH. Diagnosis of central fever is a diagnosis of exclusion. Antipyretic medications including acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inammatory drugs (NSAIDs) often do not provide adequate temperature control [205]. When these agents fail to control the temperature, exter­nal cooling devices or endovascular cooling catheters may be tried [198]. Case reports discuss the potential benets of bromocriptine, propranolol, and baclofen for the treatment of central fever [201, 206210]. However, further evaluation of these agents for this indication is needed.
16.8.4 Sodium andWater Disorders
Patients may experience one of the three sodium/water disorders after a TBI.Diabetes insipidus (DI) is on the opposite spectrum of syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) with regard to renal handling of water. SIADH and cerebral salt wasting (CSW) syndrome appear clinically similar and are often mis­diagnosed for the other. However, SIADH is a “water” issue, while CSW is a “sodium” issue.
16 Traumatic Brain Injury
423
16.8.4.1 Diabetes Insipidus
Diabetes insipidus (DI) is characterized by polyuria (>50mL/kg per 24 h), hypo­tonic urine (<300mOsm/kg), and polydipsia [211, 212]. Because patients are often unable to sense or respond to thirst, polydipsia is absent. Serum sodium levels are often elevated due to the lack of compensation with uid intake. There are four etio­logic categories of DI, including central (or neurogenic) DI, nephrogenic DI, pri­mary polydipsia, and gestational DI. Primary polydipsia and gestational DI are outside the scope of this review.
Nephrogenic DI is due to a renal insensitivity to the antidiuretic effect of normal levels of antidiuretic hormone or arginine vasopressin (AVP). There are genetic causes; however, medications and electrolyte disturbances (hypercalcemia or hypokalemia) are the most common causes of nephrogenic DI in the ICU.Up to 20% of patients who take lithium long-term will develop nephrogenic DI. Other agents reported to cause DI include demeclocycline, ooxacin, foscarnet, clozapine, and orlistat [211, 213].
Central DI, the most common etiology for DI in the ICU, is due to a loss of pro­duction of AVP.Several cerebral diseases, such as tumor, granulomatosis, or menin­gitis, can lead to a loss of ADH secretion. However, the most common cause is injury to the posterior pituitary or hypothalamic median eminence. This may be due to a TBI, pituitary surgery, or cerebral edema/herniation.
Treatment of DI primarily consists of (1) replacing AVP to prevent ongoing renal water loss and (2) replacing water loss to correct hypernatremia. In the case of medication-induced nephrogenic DI, the offending medication should be identied and immediately discontinued.
16.8.4.2 Syndrome ofInappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone
Secretion (SIADH)
SIADH accounts for one-third of all hyponatremia cases [214]. It occurs when secretion of AVP continues inappropriately with normal or decreased plasma osmo­lality. SIADH is considered a euvolemic hypotonic hyponatremic state. Diagnostic criteria include (1) serum sodium level of <135 mEq/L, (2) urine osmolality >100 mOsm/kg, (3) urine sodium concentration >20–30 meq/L, (4) clinical euvolemia or hypervolemia, (5) absence of other potential causes, and (6) normal renal function and absence of diuretic use [215].
Treatment of SIADH most commonly includes uid restriction, treatment of underlying pathology, hypertonic saline, loop diuretics, desmopressin, and vaso­pressin receptor antagonists or “vaptans.” Previously, drugs that cause DI such as demeclocycline and lithium were used to manage SIADH. However, this is not rec­ommended due to the adverse effects of these medications. Choice of treatment is determined by symptoms of hyponatremia and underlying conditions. Patients exhibiting mild-to-moderate symptoms may require uid restriction and treatment of underlying pathology. Patients with severe symptoms such as seizures or severe somnolence will require hypertonic saline.
424
L. V. JuradoHernández and T. A. Allison
The speed at which the sodium is corrected depends on whether the hyponatre­mia is considered acute (<24–48h) or chronic (>48h). An increase of 4–6mEq/L of the serum sodium is sufcient to reverse the serious manifestations of hyponatre­mia including brain herniation and neurological damage. If there is any question as to whether or not the hyponatremia is acute or chronic, chronic correction recom­mendations should be followed. Minimum correction of sodium should be no more than 4–8mEq/L per day, and no more than 4–6mEq/L per day if there is a concern for osmotic demyelination syndrome. Previously, it was recommended that the limit should not exceed 10–12mEq/L per 24-h period [215]. However, many now advo­cate increasing the serum sodium to no more than 8mEq/L in a 24-h period [216].
16.8.4.3 Cerebral Salt Wasting Syndrome
Cerebral salt wasting (CSW) syndrome is a loss of sodium and water in the urine leading to a decrease in intravascular volume and hyponatremia. It is often associ­ated with neurological disorders including SAH, head injury, and neurosurgical pro­cedures. Differentiating CSW from SIADH is almost impossible.
Volume restriction, which is commonly done in SIADH, can be detrimental in neurological conditions, particularly in SAH patients. For this reason, most neuro­logical ICU patients with hyponatremia are managed with various concentrations of sodium chloride or balanced sodium solutions depending on the serum sodium level and perceived intravascular volume.

16.9 Conclusion

Traumatic brain injury is a potentially devastating disease that is complicated by secondary injuries. Complications lead to further increases in morbidity and mortal­ity. Patients with TBI should be treated in a dedicated neuro ICU in order to improve outcomes.
