Waveform Morphology as a Surrogate for ICP Monitoring: A Comparison Between an Invasive and a Noninvasive Method.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although the placement of an intraventricular catheter remains the gold standard technique for measuring intracranial pressure (ICP), the method has several limitations. Therefore, noninvasive alternatives to ICP (ICPni) measurement are of great interest. The main objective of this study was to compare the correlation and agreement of wave morphology between ICP (standard intraventricular ICP monitoring) and a new ICPni monitor in patients admitted with stroke. The second objective was to estimate the discrimination of the noninvasive method to detect intracranial hypertension.

Methods

We prospectively collected data of adults admitted to an intensive care unit with subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, or ischemic stroke in whom an invasive ICP monit
