What is POCUS Application in Neurocritical Care Patients: Transcranial Doppler (TCD/TCCS) as a Part of POCUS, from the Brain Ultrasound to Monitoring the Systemic Complications about?

The clinical applications of Ultrasound (US) in perioperative medicine have enormously expanded over the past decades and include US-guided central venous catheterization, cardiac US imaging, airways and lung ultrasound, and abdominal ultrasound. 2. Point-of-care ultrasonography can be performed rapidly with good quality in critically ill patients. 3. Point-of-care ultrasonography frequently can help to diagnose and manage patients in the ICU and therefore can potentially have a substantial impact on critical care practice. 4. In the specific context of neurocritical care, in addition to other applications, transcranial Doppler (TCD/TCCS) ultrasonography has gained particular interest as a non-invasive bedside monitoring technique that helps to evaluate cerebral blood flow hemodynamics in the intracranial arterial vessels. 5. Brain US also includes the assessment of optic nerve sheath diameter, midline shift, hydrocephalus, and intracranial hemorrhage for the bedside diagnosis of neurological complications.
