intracranial pressure monitoring

Intracranial pressure monitoring is the pressure of the contents of the cranial cavity on the cranial wall. The intracranial pressure detection probe is placed in the skull, the probe is placed on the forehead and the occiput, and the waveform of the intracranial pressure is transmitted to the workstation through the sensor. Thereby a complete understanding of the changes in intracranial pressure. By analyzing the changes in the patient's intracranial pressure, it can help to determine the condition of the patient's cerebral edema, so as to know the treatment and estimate the prognosis. Basic Information Specialist Category: Neurological Classification: Other examinations Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Tips: Actively cooperate with doctors. Normal value The normal range of intracranial pressure is 0.69-1.77kpa (70-180mmH2O). Clinical significance Abnormal results: The intracranial pressure is higher than the range of 0.69-1.77kpa (70-180mmH2O), which is called the increase of intracranial pressure, which seriously affects the cerebral circulation. Need to check the crowd: patients with craniocerebral injury, cerebral edema. High results may be diseases: brain stem injury, pediatric cerebral hemisphere glioma, oligodendroglioma and anaplastic glioma, pediatric Haemophilus influenzae meningitis, cysticercosis, epidural Abscess, primary brain stem injury in children, cerebral edema in children and intracranial hypertension syndrome, cerebral edema, sphenoid ridge meningioma Forbidden before examination: pay attention to protect the brain and avoid damage. Requirements for inspection: Actively cooperate with the doctor. The inspection time should be 20 minutes. Inspection process The intracranial pressure detection probe is placed in the skull, the probe is placed on the forehead and the occiput, and the waveform of the intracranial pressure is transmitted to the workstation through the sensor, thereby completely understanding the change of the intracranial pressure. By analyzing the changes in the patient's intracranial pressure, it can help to determine the patient's injury and cerebral edema, so as to know the treatment and estimate the prognosis. Not suitable for the crowd Inappropriate people: traumatic, infected patients. Adverse reactions and risks No obvious complications and harms.
