Can a new noninvasive method for assessment of intracranial pressure predict intracranial hypertension and prognosis?

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Individuals with TBI are at risk of intracranial hypertension (ICH), and monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) is usually indicated. However, despite many new noninvasive devices, none is sufficiently accurate and effective for application in clinical practice, particularly in the management of TBIs. This study aimed to compare the noninvasive Brain4Care system (nICP) with invasive ICP (iICP) curve parameters in their ability to predict ICH and functional prognosis in severe TBI.

Methods

Observational, descriptive-analytical, and prospective study of 22 patients between 2018 and 2021, simultaneously monitored with nICP and iICP. The independent variables evaluated were the presence of ICH and functional prognoses. The dependent variables were the P2/P1 pressure r
