  • Cerebrospinal Fluid in Critical Illness
    Cerebrospinal Fluid in Critical Illness B. VENKATESH, P. SCOTT, M. ZIEGENFUSS Intensive Care Facility, Division of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care, Royal Brisbane Hospital, Brisbane, QUEENSLAND ABSTRACT Objective: To detail the physiology, pathophysiology and recent advances in diagnostic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in critical illness, and briefly review the pharmacokinetics and pharmaco- dynamics of drugs in the CSF when administered by the intravenous and intrathecal route. Data Sources: A review of articles published in peer reviewed journals from 1966 to 1999 and identified through a MEDLINE search on the cerebrospinal fluid. Summary of review: The examination of the CSF has become an integral part of the assessment of the critically ill neurological or neurosurgical patient. Its greatest value lies in the evaluation of meningitis. Recent publications describe the availability of new laboratory tests on the CSF in addition to the conventional cell count, protein sugar and microbiology studies. Whilst these additional tests have improved our understanding of the pathophysiology of the critically ill neurological/neurosurgical patient, they have a limited role in providing diagnostic or prognostic information. The literature pertaining to the use of these tests is reviewed together with a description of the alterations in CSF in critical illness. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs in the CSF, when administered by the intravenous and the intrathecal route, are also reviewed. Conclusions: The diagnostic utility of CSF investigation in critical illness is currently limited to the diagnosis of an infectious process. Studies that have demonstrated some usefulness of CSF analysis in predicting outcome in critical illness have not been able to show their superiority to conventional clinical examination.

  • CSF Xanthochromia
    CSF Xanthochromia Pseudonyms – CSF bilirubin For investigation of suspected subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) in CT negative patients Xanthochromia is the yellow discoloration indicating the presence of bilirubin in CSF which appears as oxyhaemoglobin released from the breakdown of red blood cells following haemorrhage into the CSF is converted in vivo into bilirubin in a time‐dependent manner. A subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a spontaneous arterial bleeding into the subarachnoid space, usually from a cerebral aneurysm, and characterised by a severe sudden‐onset headache. The majority of positive cases are detected by computed tomography (CT) scanning but for those CT‐ negative patients presenting with a history suggestive of SAH the measurement of xanthochromia in CSF is advocated to detect those patients who actually have sustained a SAH and require treatment and to eliminate the possibility of SAH in the remainder without the need of confirmatory angiography. The CSF is collected by means of lumbar puncture (LP). For full interpretation of the result other CSF and blood tests must be collected at the same time – CSF protein and glucose; plasma glucose; and serum protein and bilirubin. General information CSF Xanthochromia sample collection kits are provided in the ACU (ORC) and AMU (Trafford) and also available from the Specimen Receptions at the laboratories at both sites. Concurrent samples should be requested for CSF protein and glucose, plasma glucose and serum LFTS (for protein and bilirubin) using the sample containers supplied. Collection container: CSF xanthochromia: White topped Universal container (In addition the following samples should be collected:‐ CSF glucose & protein: 1.2 mL fluoride‐EDTA glucose (Sarstedt yellow top) Serum protein & bilirubin: 4.9 mL SST (Sarstedt brown top) Plasma glucose: 2.7 mL fluoride‐EDTA glucose (Sarstedt yellow top) Type and volume of sample: 1 mL CSF requested, minimum 400 µL required for analysis Specimen transport/special precautions: A CSF Xanthochromia sample collection kit should be used.

To describe cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) characteristics in tuberculous Methods: A cross-sectional using retrospective method was applied in this study by obtaining medical records of TBM with hydrocephalus patients that were treated at Department of Neurosurgery Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung from January 2014–September 2016. Results: Sixty one records were included in the study. Patient characteristics and differential count, protein, and glucose were recorded and descriptively such as age, gender, and CSF laboratory features such as color and clarity, cells 3 with analyzed.lymphocyte The predominance majority of CSF (median: macroscopic 76%). appearance Increased protein was seen from to benormal clear (88%) and colorless (88%).

  • Comparison of CSF Serum Albumin Index with CSF Glucose and CSF Proteins in Bacterial and Viral Meningitis
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Comparison of CSF Serum Albumin Index with CSF Glucose and CSF proteins in Bacterial and Viral Meningitis NAJAMUDDIN1, SYED RAZA JAFFAR2, FAWAD SANA3, ANWAR MAGSI4 ABSTRACT Background: Meningitis is one of the severe inflammation of covings of Brain and Spinal cord in developed countries with serious sequelale. With routine diagnostic procedures delay in diagnosis of meningitis may cause with grave result for the patients.To speed the diagnostic procedures a new diagnostic measure the cerebro spinal fluid serum albumin index has been introduced in detection of meningitis. Aim: To compare Cerebro Spinal Fluid Serum Albumin Index with CSF Glucose and CSF proteins in determination of bacterial and viral meningitis. Methods: A comparative cross section study was conducted in department of PNS Shifa Karachi from March 2014 to August 2015 on190 patients of 1-16 years of both sex with history of sign and symptoms of disease i.e., fever, headache, neck rigidity which were included in the study. Results: The summarized results of study showed the mean age as 13.875±1.414 years. Mean of CSF albumin in is .4299 g/l with SD 0.44353 while serum albumin in g/l mean is 38.03 and SD 4.488 and mean of CSF-serum albumin index is 11.7321. In student T test for CSF serum albumin index the mean of CSAI was 7.47±0.5. The sensitivity of the test is 91.09% and specificity is 96.4% while diagnostic accuracy is 94%. Conclusion: It is concluded that CSAI is a cost effective and efficient laboratory test for early diagnosis of bacterial and viral meningitis.

Correspondence to Analysis of CSF is routine in patients with acute neurologic disorders like CNS infections. Dr. Leen: [email protected] In those patients, the finding of a low CSF glucose (i.e., hypoglycorrhachia) can be deci- sive for further diagnostic and therapeutic management. In patients with a chronic neurologic disorder like intellectual disability or epilepsy, however, a low CSF glucose is easily over- looked, especially when other CSF parameters are normal.1 A low CSF glucose, though, is the diagnostic clue for GLUT1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1DS), a treatable neurometabolic disorder.2 To develop a flow chart for the differential diagnosis of a low CSF glucose in neurologic disorders in children and young adults, we performed a literature search on Pubmed by using MeSH terms (CSF, glucose, CNS infections, CNS diseases) with subheadings (CSF, diagnosis), as well as free search terms such as GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus, and ventri- culoperitoneal shunt.
