Abstract

Intracranial pressure monitoring enables the detection and treatment of intracranial hypertension, a potentially lethal insult after traumatic brain injury. Despite its widespread use, robust evidence supporting intracranial pressure monitoring and treatment remains sparse. International studies have shown large variations between centres regarding the indications for intracranial pressure monitoring and treatment of intracranial hypertension. Experts have reviewed these two aspects and, by consensus, provided practical approaches for monitoring and treatment. Advances have occurred in methods for non-invasive estimation of intracranial pressure although, for now, a reliable way to non-invasively and continuously measure intracranial pressure remains aspirational. Analysis of the intracranial pressure signal can provide information on brain compliance (ie, the ability of the cranium to tolerate volume changes) and on cerebral autoregulation (ie, the ability of cerebral blood vessels to react to changes in blood pressure). The information derived from the intracranial pressure signal might allow for more individualised patient management. Machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches are being increasingly applied to intracranial pressure monitoring, but many obstacles need to be overcome before their use in clinical practice could be attempted. Robust clinical trials are needed to support indications for intracranial pressure monitoring and treatment. Progress in non-invasive assessment of intracranial pressure and in signal analysis (for targeted treatment) will also be crucial.
