intracranial pressure, acute brain injury, abbreviations as topicAbstract
People with brain injury have both increased intracranial pressure and risk to develop it. Secondary injury includes a cascade of events that occur post the primary brain injury, which produce cerebral edema, increased intracranial pressure, cerebral hypoperfusion, compensatory failure, neurological complications, and poor prognosis. This article presents the mnemonics GANASTE TODO, as a guide that supports care for people who suffer a brain injury and helps prevent secondary injury, and includes care in glycemia, acid-base status, concentration serum sodium, hemoglobin, blood pressure, temperature, venous flow, comfort and pain management, and oxygenation. Nursing care is valuable to prevent secondary brain injury and this mnemonic can help in this goal and apply at the bedside.
