Current management of patients with stroke, traumatic brain injury, sepsis, and even general critical illness are subject to requiring therapeutics that often involve complex neurological assessment, monitoring, and interventions. In this series, we have compiled several articles, each succinctly reviewing the latest information with respect to Septic-Encephalopathy, Critical Illness Weakness & Neuropathy, EEG Utility in the ICU, Ventilation Concerns & Therapeutics in TBI & Stroke, and a Clinical Algorithm for Neurological Multi-Modal Monitoring.

    Prof. Mirski’s laboratory research involves the investigation of the subcortical mechanisms of seizure propagation and cortical synchrony. The lab directs major effort toward the development of methodologies for seizure inhibition via site-specific subcortical electrical stimulation. The principal finding of his research—identification of synaptically linked subcortical elements important in seizure propagation—has led to FDA-sanctioned Phase III clinical trials of targeted thalamic stimulation in patients with intractable seizures. Dr. Mirski also conducts primary research in the treatment of brain edema, ICU sedation and acute stroke.
