Precision Nursing Device Management and Artificial Intelligence-Integrated Early Warning Systems for Central Nervous System Infections in the Neurocritical Care Unit: A Scoping Review.
AI could help detect infections from brain-monitoring devices earlier in critically ill patients, reducing serious complications.
Central nervous system (CNS) infections and clinically overlapping neuroinflammatory conditions in the neurocritical care unit (neuro-ICU) are associated with profound mortality and prolonged clinical burdens. Invasive neuromonitoring devices, particularly external ventricular drains (EVDs), significantly increase the risk of infection, while delayed clinical manifestations often hinder early recognition and intervention.
