Dysfunctional cerebral autoregulation often precedes delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). Currently, there are no data-driven techniques that leverage this information to predict DCI in real time. Our hypothesis is that information using continuous updated analyses of multimodal neuromonitoring and cerebral autoregulation can be deployed to predict DCI. ⋯ A TTSAM algorithm using multimodal neuromonitoring and cerebral autoregulation calculations shows promise to classify DCI in real time.

Predictions of functional outcome in neurocritical care (NCC) patients impact care decisions. This study compared the predictive values (PVs) of good and poor functional outcome among health care providers with and without NCC training. ⋯ Neurointensivists expected better outcomes than other providers and were better at predicting poor functional outcomes. The PV of a good outcome prediction was modest among all providers.
