| Abstract |
Appropriate management of raised intracranial pressure begins with stabilization of the patient and simultaneous assessment of the level of sensorium and the cause of raised intracranial pressure. Stabilization is initiated with securing the airway, ventilation and circulatory function. The identification of surgically remediable conditions is a priority. Emergent use of external ventricular drain or ventriculo-peritoneal shunt may be lifesaving in selected patients. In children with severe coma, signs of herniation or acutely elevated intracranial pressure, treatment should be started prior to imaging or invasive monitoring. Emergent use of hyperventilation and mannitol are life saving in such situations. Medical management involves careful use of head elevation, osmotic agents, and avoiding hypotonic fluids. Appropriate care also includes avoidance of aggravating factors. For refractory intracranial hypertension, barbiturate coma, hypothermia, or decompressive craniectomy should be considered. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 September 2018.
All research outputs
#6,391,729
of 22,708,120 outputs
Outputs from Indian Journal of Pediatrics
#209
of 1,517 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#29,961
of 95,101 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Indian Journal of Pediatrics
#3
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,708,120 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 70th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,517 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 95,101 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
