Sonography of the Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter for Detection of Elevated Intracranial Pressure (ICP)...

Intracranial Hypertension

In this study the invistigators chose to measure the optic nerve sheath diameter by sonography for diagnosis of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) in comparison to brain computed tomograhy (CT) as the reference gold standard for detection of raised ICP since optic nerve songraphy is radiation-free , noninvasive, and has certain features which increase its convenience portability, easy application, low cost, repeatability on request, bedside application, short application time and applicability even in the presence of unstable vital signs.

Comparison of the Non-invasive ICP HeadSense Monitor vs Lumbar CSF Pressure Measurement

Intracranial Hypertension

In current practice patients with a suspected increase of intracranial pressure (ICP) will undergo a lumbar puncture with measurement of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) pressure (as a marker for ICP). A lumbar puncture is an invasive and sometimes painful procedure. Using a new type of ICP monitor (HeadSense) it is possible to measure ICP non-invasively through an acoustic signal

Automated Chest Physiotherapy to Improve Outcomes in Neuro

Brain InjuryIntracranial Hypertension

Following current standard-of-care, subjects data (brain pressure) will be recorded for 1 hour and include 10-minutes of data during which the subject recieves chest physiotherapy (CPT). The hypothesis is that CPT is not harmful to brain pressure.

Effect of Different Supralottic Airway Devicess on Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter

Intracranial Pressure IncreaseSupraglottic Airway Device1 more

Direct laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation are associated with increases in intraocular pressure (IOP), intracranial pressure (ICP), heart rate (HR), and blood pressure. The use of supraglottic airway devices (SADs) are known to be beneficial in overcoming the disadvantages of laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation, especially ocular and pressure stress responses. In recent years, it has been reported that ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) can be used in the diagnosis of increased ICP. The aim of our study is to compare the effects of Proseal laryngeal mask airway (pLMA), Suprem laryngeal mask airway (sLMA) and I-gel on hemodynamic response and ONSD during insertion in adult patients.

Effect of Intravenous Administration of Mannitol on ONSD in Patients With Raised ICP

Raised Intracranial Pressure

Osmotherapy with mannitol has been a common practice in patients with raised ICP. Monitoring its effect on ICP can be performed invasively and non-invasively. Due to a validated correlation between invasive ICP monitoring and ONSD measurement, it can be a tool to monitor acute and long term effects of osmotherapy non-invasively on ICP. This study examines the acute changes in sonographically measured ONSD brought about by the administration of mannitol. This can correlate with the changes in ICP in such patients and can be utilized as a tool for decision making/ point-of-care utility.

Cerebral Compliance Impairment in COVID-19

Intracranial HypertensionCerebral Circulatory Failure

Several recent studies point to the possibility of the new coronavirus (SARS-Cov2), which currently causes pandemic COVID-19, to infiltrate the central nervous system (CNS) and cause primary damage to neural tissues, increasing the morbidity and mortality of these patients. A pathophysiological hypothesis for insulting the CNS would be the impairment of cerebral compliance (CC), because elevation of intracranial pressure (ICP), but due to the invasive nature of the methods available for ICP evaluation, this hypothesis has so far not been verified. Recently, a noninvasive technique was developed to evaluate CC (B4C sensor), making it possible to analyse CC in patients outside the neurosurgical environment. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to assess the presence of CC impairment in patients with COVID-19, and observe potential influences of this syndrome on cerebral hemodynamics.

A Non-invasive Intracranial Pressure (nICP) Monitoring System

Traumatic Brain InjuryIntracranial Hypertension

Researchers have developed a probe that contains infrared light sources that can illuminate the deep brain tissue of the frontal lobe. Photodetectors in the probe detect the backscattered light, which is modulated by pulsation of the cerebral arteries. Changes in the extramural arterial pressure affect the morphology of the recorded optical pulse, so analysis of the acquired signal using an appropriate algorithm could enable the calculation of the intracranial pressure noninvasively (nICP), which would be displayed to clinicians continuously. This pilot study is the first evaluation of the device in patients in who the gold standard comparator of invasive ICP was available. The acquisition of pulsatile optical signals was performed for up to 48 hours in each of the 40 patients who were undergoing invasive ICP monitoring as part of their normal medical treatment. Features of the optical signals would be analysed offline. A machine vector support algorithm would be implemented, with the aim of estimating ICP noninvasively and compared to the gold standard of synchronously acquired invasive ICP data.
