Description

Neurocritical care patient management is highly complicated, especially when trying to optimize therapy during the acute injury. Pharmacologic management must be carefully considered in order to minimize cognitive dysfunction and avoid confounding patient neurologic evaluations. During the care of a neuro critical care patient, pharmacotherapy must be individualized for each patient, considering their age, comorbidities, and chronic medications. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics must be considered as they may change in acute illness and with neurocritical care interventions. Pharmacokinetic changes may include alterations in medication absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination, while pharmacodynamic changes could result in loss of drug effect or an increase in toxicity. This talk will focus on pharmacotherapy and clinical pearls that will help the care of a neurocritical care patient.
