Transcranial Color Duplex Ultrasound: A Reliable Tool for Cerebral Hemodynamic Assessment in Brain Injuries.
Transcranial color duplex ultrasound (TCCD) is becoming an important tool for cerebral monitoring of brain-injured patients. To date, TCCD reproducibility has been studied in healthy volunteers or patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage and its efficiency in many brain injuries has not been proved. Our aim was to evaluate TCCD interobserver agreement in different brain injuries. ⋯ We reported the reliability of TCCD interobserver agreement in brain-damaged patients.
