A simple system of intracranial pressure monitoring for use by non-neurosurgeons.
A technique is described for intracranial pressure monitoring that can be used in the intensive care unit by doctors with no neurosurgical experience. The system uses the extradural route, thus reducing the risks of intracranial haemorrhage and infection associated with techniques requiring opening of the dura and cannulating the brain.
