Systematic review of decreased intracranial pressure with optimal head elevation in postcraniotomy patients: a meta‐analysis

Abstract: Patients with increased intracranial pressure significantly benefitted from a head elevation of 10, 15, 30 and 45 degrees compared with 0 degrees. A head elevation of 30 or 45 degrees is optimal for decreasing intracranial pressure. Research about the relationship of position changes and the outcomes of patient primary diseases is absent.

“…The maximal recorded increase in mean ICP (approximately +16.5 mm Hg/+180%) occurred after head down positioning in standing dogs (Figure , Table ) and likely reflects the higher potential for attaining a head position below the level of the heart compared to sternally positioned dogs. Optimal head elevation has been well documented to result in decreased ICP in human traumatic brain injury patients, although effect on clinical outcome is less defined . Large ICP variations with head position in our study in normal dogs similarly highlight the likely importance of this basic nursing component on ICP management in dogs with ICH.…”

“…[13][14][15] However, these maneuvers are not be applicable to all patients because the Valsalva maneuver and the reverse Trendelenburg position may not be possible or disadvantageous in patients with hemodynamic instability or with altered mental status. [16][17][18] Our results indicate that a simple bed-side elevation of the lower back with the frog leg position maximizes the diameter and CSA of the FV, and this position will increase the accessibility of the FV. Overlapping of the FV by the FA can lead to inadvertent arterial catheterization or arteriovenous fistula.…”

“…Embora o único estudo que abordou o tema não tenha encontrado alteração estatisticamente significativa nos valores de PIC com a cabeceira em 15, 30 e 45 graus, assim como na posição supina, lateral direita e esquerda, o tamanho amostral de 30 pacientes foi considerado uma limitação da pesquisa (34). No entanto, outras pesquisas mostram que pacientes com aumento da PIC se beneficiam da elevação da cabeceira em 10, 15, 30 e 45 graus quando comparados a zero grau (45)(46).…”
