AB Life-threatening  neurologic  illness  may  be  caused  by  a  primary  disorder  affecting  any  region  of  the  neuraxis  or  may  occur  as  a  consequence  of  a  systemic  disorder  such  as  hepatic  failure,  multisystem  organ  failure,  or  cardiac  arrest  (Table  33-1).  Neurologic  critical  care  focuses  on  preservation  of  neurologic  tissue  and  prevention  of  secondary  brain  injury  caused  by  ischemia,  hemorrhage,  edema,  herniation,  and  elevated  intracranial  pressure  (ICP).  Management  of  other  organ  systems  proceeds  concurrently  and  may  need  to  be  modified  in  order  to  maintain  the  overall  focus  on  neurologic  issues.
