A Noninvasive Method for Monitoring Intracranial Pressure During Postural Changes.

Intracranial hypertension (IH) is an important cause of secondary brain injury, and its association with poor outcomes has been extensively demonstrated. Pathological intracranial hypertension is defined as a persistent rise in intracranial pressure (ICP) to above 20-25 mmHg, with symptoms such as headaches, loss of consciousness, seizures, and focal deficits, as well as ischemic damage. Therefore, monitoring of ICP is invaluable in the management of these symptoms.
