Traumatic brain injury (TBI) results when external physical forces impact the head with
sufficient intensity to cause damage to the brain. TBI can be mild, moderate, or severe and …

(1) Background: Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring plays a key role in the treatment of
patients in intensive care units, as well as during long-term surgeries and interventions. The …

Background Although placement of an intra-cerebral catheter remains the gold standard
method for measuring intracranial pressure (ICP), several non-invasive techniques can …

Background Improving the prognostication of acute brain injury is a key element of critical
