Caring a patient with brain injury experiencing increased intracranial pressure: A case report

Abstract

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a significant contributor to mortality and a critical global health concern. Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) appears to be an acute and potentially fatal complication that requires increased focus from clinical nurses within hospital settings. It is critical to manage patients with TBI who also have elevated ICP to prevent an ICP extremity. This research aimed to assess the efficacy of SIKI in treating patients with TBI. This study presents the case of a 12-year-old child who sustained an epidural haemorrhage due to a traffic accident and had a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury. Nursing care is administered through monitoring interventions and ICP improvement management. Due to the clinical advantages, healthcare industry policymakers should recommend using SIKI during TBI treatment.
