title: [Usefulness of intracranial pressure measurement by Camino V420 system: preliminary report].
abstract: The authors discuss the basis of ICP measurements with Camino V420 system and present the introductory experience of Department of Neurosurgery, Medical Academy of Lódź with it's clinical use. Continuous ICP measurements, lasting from 24h to 15 days were performed in 16 patients. In 13 of them ICP measurements were done in order to establish the dynamics of hydrocephalus and indications for shunt surgery. The other 3 suffered from intracranial hypertension, caused by trauma (1 patient) or spontaneous intracranial haemorrhage (2 patients). Camino system proved to be easy in handling, highly reliable, and infallible, even for successive days.
