AANS Beyond 2023: Neurosurgeon Collection-Scientific Session V: Neurotrauma

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video provides summaries of presentations from the Neurotrauma Session in Critical Care. Dr. Jayadhar Prahl introduces the session, while Dr. Dave Okonkwo highlights the contributions of Douglas Miller and introduces Shelley Timmons, the first female neurosurgeon to be president of the AANS. Timmons discusses the importance of registry science in neurotrauma research and the need for standardized outcomes measures. Michael Anakin discusses a concussion study focusing on the impact on women's health, and the potential for a national registry to support research. Daniel Smarrin presents a study on cerebral perfusion pressure and brain tissue oxygenation in traumatic brain injury patients. Dr. Alwin Gomez presents research on the use of IL-4 to attenuate inflammation and improve recovery in spinal cord injury. Dr. Eve Side elaborates on the ASIA examination for spinal cord injury assessment, emphasizing its importance but acknowledging challenges in performing a comprehensive examination. The study on decompressive hemicraniectomy incisions found no significant differences in wound healing complications between the retroauricular and preauricular incisions. Further research is needed for long-term outcomes assessment.
