Targets for treatment of raised intracranial pressure or decreased cerebral perfusion pressure in pediatric neurocritical care are not well defined. Host Margaret Parker, MD, MCCM, is joined by Alicia K. Au, MD, MS, to discuss the process of defining intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure thresholds associated with in-hospital mortality across a large single-center pediatric neurocritical care cohort (Au A, et al. Pediatr Crit Care Med. 2021 Feb;22:135-146). Dr. Au is assistant professor of critical care medicine and associate medical director of the pediatric intensive care unit at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
