| Impact | There is a misdiagnosis rate of 40% in cases of vegetative state and other prolonged disorders of consciousness. Some of the key publications arising from our research are listed below, and are underpinned by research grants from the National Institute for Health Research (through the Neuroscience theme of the Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre), the Medical Research Council, the Royal College of Anaesthetists, the McDonnell Foundation, and the Henry Smith Charity. Perhaps even more relevant than individual publications or grant income is the establishment of strong and productive national and international networks that now address the scientific and clinical issues in this area through a common, integrated research program. These studies were conducted as part of a close collaboration with the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Cambridge, Our international collaborators include Liege University, Cornell University, and University of Western Ontario. Our national collaborators include the Royal National Hospital for Neurodisability, Putney; The Royal Leamington Spa Rehabilitation Hospital; The Coleman Centre, Norwich; The Jacob Centre, Sawbridgeworth; and Leicester Royal Infirmary. While this latter network may not have the scientific track record of our international partners, it has represented a key resource for research recruitment in the past, and will be an essential framework for disseminating best practice and new paradigms of patient management. There are likely to be less than 500 patients with VS in England and Wales at any time, and, if research is to progress, a close collaborative relationship is essential between academic centres and clinical units that care for these patients. These clinical networks will be widened to disseminate the clinical assessment and imaging paradigms that we have developed for adoption into regional and national protocols. These protocols, which have been trialled and refined within our research program, are already providing data that inform the management of patients who are referred to us. Over time, this will be disseminated to other centres to characterise such patients, and eventually select patients for clinical trials of novel therapies. Our research has also informed the debate on national legislation. Kate Bainbridge, who was the subject of our original Lancet paper on residual cognition in the vegetative state, has made a substantial cognitive recovery.a Kate has since published a book and two papersb,c describing her recovery, and is someone we turn to when considering difficult ethical issues. Her input during the Mental Capacity Act debate helped convince the Government that research in incapacitated individuals was clearly ethical. These contributions at parliamentary committee stages of the Mental Capacity Act and during the implementation of the Clinical Trials Regulations resulted in important modifications that ensured that research in critical care and emergency medicine could continue. Finally, our research has had substantial (and far broader) societal impact on perceptions of neurological recovery. Our contributions to national broadcast media have informed public knowledge and professional debate in this area. In 2010, we hosted a BBC team, who produced a program addressing the difficult area of poor quality survival from brain injury. The resulting program, "Between Life and Death",d,e,f was broadcast on BBC 1 on the 14th of July 2010, and won the Royal Television Society Awardg and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awardh for best single documentary. More recently, our input has contributed to the public debate on management of patients with disorders of consciousness as part of the BMA Morals and Medicine series,i and our research has recently featured on BBC 1's Panorama program.j Sources to corroborate the impact (indicative maximum of 10 references) a. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A04AvsGH0FU b.

| Title | ICM+ Sofware licensed |
| Description | Optimisation of real time analysis of multimodal monitoring data and its application to computer guided management of head injury patients In an established environment of neuro-intensive care large quantities of data can be captured from bed-side monitors. This data contains a wealth of information about the pathophysiology of the critically ill patient however the extraction of this information often requires sophisticated signal analysis. Such analysis is usually performed using universal data analysis packages like Matlab but requires engineering/mathematics expertise and is only available in off-line mode and as such in not applicable in a clinical setting. Our own software ICM+ (http://www.neurosurg.cam.ac.uk/icmplus), which is by now used in many clinical centres worldwide, attempts to bridge the gap between laboratory and clinical application. It collects data from bedside monitors, calculates in real time 'secondary' parameters defined using highly configurable signal processing formulae and produces continuously updated charts. This way complex information coming off the bedside monitors can be summarized in a concise fashion and presented to medical staff in a simple way that alerts them to the development of various pathological processes. |
| Type Of Material | Physiological assessment or outcome measure |
| Year Produced | 2006 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | The projects offered will include the following stages: 1. Development of new methodologies of analysis of physiological signals acquired in the Neuro Intensive Care, including time and frequency domain, stationary and non-stationary methods, linear and non-linear approaches. 2. Validation of the new methodologies against retrospective and prospective data from the Neuro Intensive Care unit 3. Implementation of the novel algorithms into ICM+ plugins, packaged as Windows dll libraries, so that they can be used in real time by the bed side |

| Impact | ICM+ (http://www.neurosurg.cam.ac.uk/icmplus), which is by now used in many clinical centres worldwide, attempts to bridge the gap between laboratory and clinical application. It collects data from bedside monitors, calculates in real time 'secondary' parameters defined using highly configurable signal processing formulae and produces continuously updated charts. This way complex information coming off the bedside monitors can be summarized in a concise fashion and presented to medical staff in a simple way that alerts them to the development of various pathological processes. ICM+ software licensed by University of Cambridge Enterprise Ltd. [www.neurosurg.cam.ac.uk/icmplus Novel methods of measurement developed by Marek Czosnyka, Peter Hutchinson, David Menon and John Pickard have provided new insights into the pathophysiology of brain injury, led to commercial applications, and influenced patient care in terms of improved outcome for clinical trials. Multimodality brain monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP), brain oxygen and microdialysis; PET/MRI imaging of critically ill patients; and computerised CSF infusion tests for shunt function in hydrocephalus have each impacted on the clinical practice and the ability to evaluate novel treatments and interventions in brain injury. This work has led directly to the establishment of a National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Health Technology Cooperative for Brain Injury. Underpinning research In 1991 a research group was established across Departments in the Cambridge University Clinical School to undertake research in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and abnormalities of CSF. The group was led jointly by Marek Czosnyka (Senior Research Associate, 1991; Professor of Brain Physics, from 2013), Peter Hutchinson (Reader in Neurosurgery, 2008-date; NIHR Professor from 2013), David Menon (University Lecturer, 1993; Professor of Anaesthesia, from 2000) and John Pickard (Professor of Neurosurgery, from 1991). Central to the impact has been the introduction of technologies derived from brain physics for real-time measurement of brain function in the context of acute injury. Technology that combines monitoring and imaging techniques has been licensed and has increased understanding of the pathophysiology of TBI and CSF disorders; defined optimal physiological parameters associated with best outcome in clinical trials; and altered the care of patients in the neurosciences intensive care setting nationally and internationally. The research encompasses four domains: Brain physics: By applying multimodal brain monitoring1 (introduced 1991) novel indices of cerebrovascular physiology have been defined including autoregulation with the following major findings: • TBI: (1) cerebrovascular pressure reactivity independently associates with outcome; (2) extremes of cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) contribute to worse outcome; and (3) optimal CPP is a valid therapeutic target (2012)2 • CSF: (1) non-invasive ICP can be estimated from cerebral blood flow velocity and arterial pressure (2000); (2) normal pressure hydrocephalus results from a dysfunction of CSF dynamics, white matter softening and dysautoregulation with aging (2008); and (3) idiopathic intracranial hypertension can be treated with venous stenting (2002)3 |

| Impact | The indications for skull burr-holes include insertion of intra-cranial bolts, insertion of exterior ventricular drains(ventriculostomies) , insertion of ventricular catheters for shunts , drainage of chronic subdural haematomas and access for brain biopsies. Burr-holes have been traditionally performed either by using air-powered drills or by hand using a brace, perforator and spherical burr. Recently the demand for cranial access via burr-holes has increased due to the application of monitoring probes, (intra-cranial) pressure transducers, oxygen and multi-parameter sensors and micro-dialysis catheters, and the increasing use of external ventricular drains in patients with head injury and subarachnoid haemorrhage. Traditionally, burr-holes have been performed in the operating theatre. By undertaking them on the intensive care unit, however, the complications of transferring the patient to the operating theatre can be avoided. Technicam have therefore developed a new cranial access system designed to simplify burr-holes, and facilitate the insertion of monitoring probes and external ventricular drains for use in the intensive care unit or the operating theatre - the Technicam Cranial Access System. |

| Results and Impact | The NCCU was the context for a recent BBC program on decision making in severe brain injury: "Between Life and Death" aired on BBCi on the 13th of July 2010. This program, and the accompanying blog by Professor of Anaesthesia have resulted in enormous public and media interest and discussion (see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/tv/2010/07/between-life-and-death-why-med.shtml#comments and http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00t3szs). An email to Professor of Anaesthesia from the Executive Producer of the program quotes the Head of BBC1 stating the film to be "one of the best uses of public service broadcasting" she has been involved with. Extremely well received.This year the BBC documentary "Between Life and Death", filmed in the Neurocritical Care Unit about three patients' journeys post neurotrauma (see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00t3szs), generated a BBC blog run by Professor of Anaesthesia (http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/tv/2010/07/between-life-and-death-why-med.shtml), and won a BAFTA television award (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8seN2xUwPxA) and a Royal Television Society Award. |
