EABI Study

The Extubation in Acute Brain Injury (EABI) Study aims to develop expert consensus guidance on “readiness to extubate” criteria for extubation of patients with acute brain injury.

CIRCULATE – MCS

Cerebrovascular Investigation Related to Circulatory parameters Using Longitudinal Assessments on Transcranial Doppler based Evaluation in Mechanical Circulatory Support.

MINIMAL

Use of Non-Invasive Methods for Intracranial Pressure (ICP) Monitoring in Traumatic Brain Injury when invasive ICP is not available (in Low income countries). The Minimal TBI study.

USEFUL

Use & management of non-invasive methods to assess intracranial pressure in TBI patients in LMIC (+ in HIC when there are contraindications to invasive methods): a consensus & clinical recommendation

aSAH Survey

Decision-Making in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage: International Survey of Triggers and Management Strategies of Delayed Cerebral Ischemia ()

The aim of this survey was to investigate the current practice and timing of neurological prognostication after cardiac arrest in European ICUs.
