Intracranial Pressure and Neuromonitoring XVII (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This book gathers the proceedings of the 17^th International Conference on Intracranial Pressure and Neuromonitoring, held in Leuven, Belgium in September 2019. It provides an overview of the current understanding, underlying research and future perspectives concerning pathophysiology, biophysics, monitoring and management in traumatic and non-traumatic acute brain injury, hydrocephalus and spinal cord injury, including cerebrovascular autoregulation impairment in neurological as well as non-neurological diseases. The peer-reviewed contributions were prepared by specialists in neurosurgery, neurointensive care and neuroanesthesiology, as well as prominent experts from the fields of physiology, clinical and biomedical engineering, mathematics and informatics. The book continues the time-honored tradition of publishing key presentations from the ICP Conferences in order to facilitate their dissemination within the clinical and research community.

He did a fellowship in neurosurgery at the University of Toronto in 2005-2006. Since 2006, he works as a staff neurosurgeon at the University Hospitals Leuven. He is appointed professor at the KULeuven and teaches spine pathology for physiotherapy students and neurosurgery for medical students. His research is in physiology and biomechanics of traumatic brain injury combining both clinical data, animal models and mathematical models and he authored several publications in this field. Professor Geert Meyfroidt graduated as a MD in 1996, has a board certification in anesthesiology (2001) and intensive care medicine (2004), is clinically active as Senior Consultant at the Department of Intensive Care Medicine of the University Hospitals Leuven, and has an academic appointment as Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Leuven (KU Leuven), Belgium. In 2010, he finished his PhD, entitled, "Computerized data management in the intensive care unit: predictive modeling, time series analysis, and opportunities for support of care". He is funded by the Flemish Government (Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO)), as Senior Clinical Researcher (2012-2017: 1843113N and 2017-2022: 1843118N) and has project funding from the KU Leuven (KU Leuven C2 project (C24/17/072): A Neuromonitor for the 21st century). Current research projects include: data mining and predictive modeling in neuro-intensive care and acute kidney injury; cerebrovascular autoregulation; brain Injury and ketamine. He is promotor and co-promotor of 5 PhD students, has authored and co-authored more than 80 medical journal articles, and is a regular speaker at nationaland international conferences. As of 2019, he serves as Associate Editor in the editorial board of Intensive Care Medicine. Professor Meyfroidt was elected country representative for Belgium at the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM)(2012-2015), is now the chair of the Neuro-Intensive Care section of ESICM (2019-2022), and the Scientific Panel of the European Academy of Neurology. He is the current president of the Belgian Society of Intensive Care Medicine (SIZ) (2019-2021). In 2016, he received the Established Investigator Award from the ESICM (20K EUR).
