Assessment of intra-cranial pressure after severe traumatic brain injury by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography.
To investigate the potential of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography in estimating post-traumatic intra-cranial pressure early after severe traumatic brain injury. ⋯ The significance of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography as a method to estimate an early post-traumatic intra-cranial pressure after severe brain injury was confirmed. This simple and non-invasive technique could be easily used in daily clinical practice and precede intra-cranial pressure monitoring in selected patients.
