Use of invasive intracranial pressure monitoring in patients with severe traumatic brain injury

Abstract

To evaluate the effectiveness of the use of invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring on treatment outcomes in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). We analyzed 50 case histories of patients with severe TBI who received treatment in the Krasnoyarsk Regional Clinical Hospital for the period 2021-2022. Comparisons were made between patients with and without invasive intraventricular ICP monitoring. With the same initial condition of patients, ICP monitoring allows for a faster and more timely response to changes in the clinical condition, which significantly affects the clinical outcome. The use of invasive ICP monitoring improves the outcome of treatment of patients with severe TBI and justifies the money spent on it.
