Objectives :

At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to :
• Examine the physiopathology of traumatic brain injury, its effects on the cerebral circulation and metabolism and review recent advances in treatment modalities and future therapies
• Determine targets for temperature modulation and enumerate the indications for hypothermia and normothermia in the setting of brain injury
• Identify the indications for hypothermia and analyze pathophysiologic concepts related to its use after cardiac arrest and the reperfusion injury, and discuss data from recent studies on use of hypothermia post cardiac arrest
• Discuss data from recent studies on use of hypothermia post cardiac arrest
• Demonstrate the applicability and utility of Intracranial Pressure Monitoring in the ICU patient
• Identify the physiopathology of spinal cord injury and review recent advances in treatment modalities and future therapies
• Recognize the benefits of adopting new operational models including implementing a group approach in order to improve patient outcomes and maximize the utilization of resources
