Intracranial pressure monitoring

Index Intracranial pressure monitoring

The monitoring of intracranial pressure is used in treating severe traumatic brain injury patients. [1]

Brain

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.

Intracranial pressure

Intracranial pressure (ICP) is the pressure inside the skull and thus in the brain tissue and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Non-invasive intracranial pressure measurement methods

Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) is one of the major causes of secondary brain ischemia that accompanies a variety of pathological conditions, most notably traumatic brain injury (TBI), strokes, and intracranial hemorrhages.

Pressure reactivity index

Pressure reactivity index or PRx is tool for monitoring patients who have raised intracranial pressure (ICP), caused by pathologies such as a traumatic brain injury or subarachnoid haemorrhage, in order to guide therapy to protect the brain from damagingly high or low cerebral blood flow.

Traumatic brain injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), also known as intracranial injury, occurs when an external force injures the brain.
