Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria
The aim of this study is to determine whether we can predict the intracranial pressure using
near infra-red spectroscopy

The management of intracranial hypertension requires the presence of an intracranial pressure
monitor. We are investigating whether the waveforms obtained from a near infrared
spectroscopy device can predict what the intracranial pressure is non-invasively.

- Patients with intracranial hypertension who are intubated and ventilated in the ICU will
be recruited

- we will record there intracranial pressure and systemic arterial pressure

- recordings from the near infrared device will be recorded and analysed off-line

- we will correlate the waveform tracings from near infrared spectroscopy and the arterial
tracing

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients with an intracranial pressure monitor and arterial catheter who are admitted to
the ICU

Exclusion Criteria:

Less than 18 years
