title: [Significance of monitoring of intracranial pressure in craniocerebral injuries.].
abstract: The authors extend the analysis of the previously published group of 26 patients with a craniocerebral injury during a 20-month period of monitoring of intracranial pressure by means of epidural approach by new techniques. Since 1996 they have implanted a technically upgraded intracranial pressure censor intraparenchymatosely and since 1998 intraventricularly in total in 27 patients with craniocerebral injury during 36-month period. The significance of continuous monitoring of intracranial pressure in indicated cases consists in the prevention and treatment of intracranial hypertension (medicaments, ventilation regimen, nursing care) as in craniocerebral injuries ther does not develop a direct relationship between the disorder of conscience and intracranial pressure. Key words: craniocerebral injuries, monitoring of intracranial pressure, intracranial hypertension.
