Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is now viewed as integral to the clinical care of many
life-threatening brain insults, such as severe traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid …

For decades, one of the main targets in the management of severe acute brain injury (ABI)
has been intracranial hypertension (IH) control. However, the determination of IH has …

In 2006, Sérgio Mascarenhas, a retired physics professor from the University of São Paulo

Dear Editor, Intracranial hypertension is a harmful complication occurring in acute brain-
injured (ABI) patients and a contributing factor to unfavourable outcomes [1]. Because …

Although the placement of an intraventricular catheter remains the gold standard method for
the diagnosis of intracranial hypertension (ICH), the technique has several limitations …

Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is necessary for managing patients with traumatic
brain injury (TBI). Although gold-standard methods include intraventricular or …

Although invasive methods remain the mainstay for ICP determination and monitoring,
several noninvasive biomarkers have shown promise to quantitatively assess and monitor …

The cerebral oxygen cascade includes three key stages:(a) convective oxygen delivery
representing the bulk flow of oxygen to the cerebral vascular bed;(b) diffusion of oxygen from …

Given the complexity of cerebral pathology in patients with acute brain injury, various
neuromonitoring strategies have been developed to better appreciate physiologic …

OBJECTIVES: Transcranial Doppler (TCD) has been evaluated as a noninvasive
