Noninvasive intracranial pressure monitoring

Neurosurgery, 1985
Because skull elasticity has been demonstrated (through holographic interferometry), the assumption was made that even a small change in intracranial hydrostatic pressure might change the bitemporal diameter of the skull measurably. The authors devised a relatively noninvasive instrument for measuring skull diameter changes with changing intracranial ...

Intracranial pressure monitoring

Current Anaesthesia & Critical Care, 2003
Abstract Maintaining adequate cerebral perfusion is the primary goal of management of patients with traumatic brain injury and intracranial pressure is one of the major factors affecting cerebral blood flow. Intracranial pressure measurement is necessary to confirm or exclude intracranial hypertension and to determine cerebral perfusion pressure.

Neuroendoscopic intracranial pressure monitoring

Child's Nervous System, 2002
We wished to find a way of monitoring patients' intracranial pressure (ICP) during endoscopic surgery.The Codman Microsensor ICP monitor can be inserted through the working channel of an endoscope with an interposed assembly (Check Flo II with male fitting, 9 F, manufactured by Cook, model #CFM-100TM) to provide a water-tight seal and allow ...

Accurate Intracranial Pressure Monitoring: Technical Note

Neurosurgery, 1984
Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring may be misleading or inaccurate in patients who have sustained cerebral death or who have had cerebrospinal fluid drainage (e.g., due to skull fracture or craniotomy). ICP recording in these patients requires particular attention to the monitoring technique to avoid misleading values that may result in ...

Intracranial Pressure Monitoring

AACN Advanced Critical Care, 1993
Intracranial pressure monitoring (ICP) is a technology that assists critical care nurses in the assessment, planning, intervention, and evaluation of care. The physiologic basis of intracranial hypertension (ICH) and ICP monitoring are reviewed. Types of monitors arc described.

Intracranial Pressure Monitoring

Archives of Neurology, 1985
One of the fundamental tenets of science is that if we can measure something, we know something about it. However, as Professor Miller points out, the level of intracranial pressure (ICP) may be less important than its cause. Moreover, focal pressure differentials may matter more than the average ICP measured at a sampling site.

Intracranial Pressure Monitoring

AACN Clinical Issues: Advanced Practice in Acute and Critical Care, 2005
Evidence suggests that the mortality and morbidity of acquired brain injury could be reduced if clinicians used an aggressive intracranial pressure guided approach to care. Despite nearly 50 years of evidence that intracranial pressure monitoring benefits patient care, only about half of the patients who could benefit are monitored.

Anesteziologiia i reanimatologiia, 2010
Based on the data on the current literature, the authors present the basic physiological and pathophysiological aspects of measurement of intracranial pressure and discuss indications for its monitoring and clinical value.

Monitoring Intracranial Pressure

2011
The cranium is uniquely intolerant to changes in volume. The classical thinking of the relationship between components of the cranium and the pressure created by their presence is defined by the Monroe Kellie Doctrine [1]. Under normal physiologic conditions tissue cells, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) maintain a consistent presence within the ...

Intracranial Pressure Monitoring

2016
Intracranial hypertension (IC-HTN) is a common neurologic complication in critically ill patients. Intractable IC-HTN (persistent intracranial pressure above 20–25 mmHg) can lead to death or severe neurologic damage. Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitors if placed in a timely fashion can improve mortality and neurologic outcomes. Patients who have or at
