Comparative StudyUltrasound measurements versus invasive intracranial pressure measurement method in patients with brain injury: a retrospective study.
The invasive method for intracranial pressure measurement is 'gold standard' but not always feasible because the intraventricular catheter/ intraparenchymal micro transducer used in the measurement of intracranial pressure measurement may cause complications. Imaging modalities with clinical examination protocol have a lack of specificity and accuracy. The objective of the study was to compare the accuracy of diagnostic parameters of ultrasound measurements in patients with brain injury underwent invasive intracranial pressure measurement method. ⋯ III.
