Abstract

Intracranial pressure (ICP) is well recognised as a critical parameter to both measure and influence in the management of the head injured patient. Since Lundberg’s seminal studies, ICP has arguably become the major focus of monitoring in head injury, as well as a number of other neurosurgical scenarios.<sup>1</sup> Mean ICP and the features that make up the ICP waveform provide insight into the state of elastance and compliance of the injured brain, impending trends and events related to changes in intracranial pathophysiology, and also end-prognosis in traumatic brain injury (TBI).
