Clinical trials: Elevated ICP (Intracranial Pressure)
Brain Injuries, Traumatic, Traumatic Brain Injury
Proteomics of Brain Trauma-associated Elevated Intracranial Pressure (ICP)
The specific aim of this research is to determine if the blood from brain-injured patients contains reproducible protein markers that appear prior to elevations in intracranial pressure (ICP).

Elevated Intracranial Pressure (ICP)
Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter (ONSD) With the Raised PCO2 and Internal Jugular Venous Occlusion
Monitoring the ICP is the most important aspect of the management of these patients. Recently, transorbital ultrasonography has gained popularity as a noninvasive bedside exam that has been shown to be useful in the diagnosis of…
