Clinical Assessment of the Accuracy of ICP Non-invasive Measurement

摘要

Brain injury is one of the main reasons of young patients death in European Union and other countries of the world. The pathophysiological processes in the injured brain proceed quickly and, therefore are very risky for human life. The intracranial pressure (ICP) is a fundamental physiological parameter with the same importance as the arterial blood pressure (ABP), which is a fundamental parameter of the blood circulation in the body. Raised intracranial pressure must be recognized and managed properly, because there is a considerable risk in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients of secondary brain damage with long term severe disability [1].
