Intracranial Pressure Measurement. Monitoring of intracranial pressure icp is an important and integrated part of the treatment algorithm for children with severe traumatic brain injury tbi. Trauma and disease potentially causing raised icp. All current clinical available measurement methods are invasive and use various transducer systems. Guidelines often recommend icp monitoring with a treatment threshold of 20 mmhg.
10 intracranial pressure monitoring brian north 10 1 introduction intracranial pressure icp measurement is an extremely important part of the neurosurgical arma mentarium. Intracranial pressure is thought to equilibrate equally within and among the intracranial contents although local increases in icp have been noted. As a result there has been a substantial effort to explore and develop novel noninvasive icp monitoring. The ophthalmic artery oa a unique vessel with intracranial and extracranial segments is used as a pressure sensor and as a natural pair of scales for absolute icp value in mmhg or mmh2o measurement. Intracranial pressure monitoring permits both early identification of impending clinical deterioration and evaluation of response to therapy.
