Optimizing Intubation in Patients with Elevated Intracranial Pressure

The chapter focuses on meticulous preparation for intubating patients with elevated intracranial pressure, detailing strategies to prevent worsening outcomes in scenarios like traumatic brain injury, aortic dissection, and subarachnoid bleed. It highlights the importance of pre-oxigenation, monitoring CO2 levels, and utilizing video laryngoscopy to minimize intracranial pressure spikes during intubation.
