Management of patients with severe traumatic brain injury guided by intraventricular intracranial pressure monitoring: a report of 136 cases.

Abstract

Ventricular access for ICP monitoring can be safely and accurately achieved. ICP monitoring via ventriculostomy may facilitate an early and accurate intervention for severely brain-injured patients. The intraventricular ICP monitoring is a low-risk procedure and can yield great benefits for management of patients with severe TBI.
