  • Physicians initiated measures to monitor and control elevated intracranial pressure, including placement of an external ventricular drain, hyperosmolar therapy with mannitol and 3% sodium chloride, cooling to 34°C, chemical paralysis, and a pentobarbital-induced coma. (cdc.gov)
  • 1,2 Swelling of the brain increases intracranial pressure, which can decrease cerebral blood flow and disrupt brain function, potentially causing hypotonic encephalopathy, seizures, or coma. (health.mil)
  • We examined reduction in intracranial pressure, time to resolution of coma, and occurrence of neurological sequelae and death. (ox.ac.uk)
