Correlation between optic nerve sheath diameter measured by bedside ultrasound and intracranial pressure in neurologically ill patients in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We assessed the correlation between optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) values measured by bedside ultrasound and intracranial pressure (ICP) changes among patients under neurocritical care and evaluated the diagnostic performance of ONSD for increased ICP.

Methods

Sixty-seven neurologically critical patients who were hospitalised in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Jining No.1 People's Hospital between September 2023 and March 2024 and underwent lumbar puncture were included. The ONSD was measured and recorded using bedside ultrasound before the lumbar puncture. Patients were divided into normal and increased ICP groups on the basis of the initial lumbar puncture pressure on admission, and both groups were compared. Spearman's correlation analysis was used for eva
