神经系统急症如急性中风、创伤性脑损伤和心脏骤停后缺氧缺血性脑病的死亡率和发病率仍然很高。关于最初的侵略性护理的决定,必须在介绍和感知预后的时候,往往被用来作为这个决策过程的一部分。然而,这些决定是基于早期结果预测的准确性。在神经系统急症后早期限制治疗的决定必须与避免由于临床虚无主义而导致的自我实现的预后不良的预言相平衡。本文探讨了神经系统紧急事件后早期诊断的作用,早期治疗限制的潜在影响,以及这些可能与这些急性神经系统事件背景下与患者和代理决策者的沟通有关。
Mortality and morbidity remain high from neurological emergencies such as acute stroke, traumatic brain injury, and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy after cardiac arrest. Decisions regarding initial aggressiveness of care must be made at the time of presentation and perceived prognosis is often used as part of this decision-making process. However, these decisions are predicated on the accuracy of early outcome prediction. Decisions to limit treatment early after neuro-emergencies must be balanced with avoidance of self-fulfilling prophecies of poor outcome due to clinical nihilism. This article examines the role of prognostication early after neuro-emergencies, the potential impact of early treatment limitations, and how these may relate to communication with patients and surrogate decision makers in the context of these acute neurological events.
