Non-invasive intracranial pressure assessment

Llewellyn C Padayachy. Childs Nerv Syst. 2016 Sep.

Abstract

Assessing intracranial pressure (ICP) remains a cornerstone in neurosurgical care. Invasive techniques for monitoring ICP remain the gold standard. The need for a reliable, safe and reproducible technique to non-invasively assess ICP in the context of early screening and in the neurocritical care environment is obvious. Numerous techniques have been described with several novel advances. While none of the currently available techniques appear independently accurate enough to quantify raised ICP, there is some promising work being undertaken.

Keywords: Intracranial pressure; Non-invasive monitoring techniques; Traumatic brain injury.
