Validation of a mathematical model for understanding intracranial pressure curve morphology.
The physiology underlying the intracranial pressure (ICP) curve morphology is not fully understood. Recent research has suggested that the morphology could be dependent on arterial cerebral inflow and the physiological and pathophysiological properties of the intracranial cavity. If understood, the ICP curve could provide information about the patient's cerebrovascular state important in individualizing treatment in neuro intensive care patients. ⋯ The venous outflow and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow over the foramen magnum predicted by the model were within physiologically reasonable limits and in most cases followed the MRI measured values in close adjunct. The presented model could produce an ICP curve in close resemblance of the in vivo measured curves. This strengthens the hypothesis that the ICP curve is shaped by the arterial intracranial inflow and the physiological properties of the intracranial cavity.

Retraction Of PublicationRetraction Note to: Implications of Entropy and Surgical Pleth Index-guided general anaesthesia on clinical outcomes in critically ill polytrauma patients. A prospective observational non-randomized single centre study.
The authors have retracted this article [1]. After publication it was discovered that Table 1 which reports the clinical and demographical characteristics of the patients in the study contains a number of statistical and typographical errors. The data reported in this article are therefore unreliable. All authors agree with this retraction.
