Monitoring intracranial pressure to assess patient outcomes

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study evaluates the clinical utility of continuous intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring using the Integra CereLink ICP monitor. It aims to determine if the Pressure Time Dose (PTD) metric, derived from continuous ICP recordings, correlates with patient outcomes in individuals with acute brain injuries. The study will identify a threshold of PTD that signifies a transition from favorable to unfavorable outcomes, thereby enhancing the understanding of ICP monitoring in neurocritical care. The research is grounded in existing guidelines and seeks to address gaps in current ICP monitoring practices.
