- The study evaluated the use of transcranial sonography (TCS) for measuring the diameter of the third ventricle (V3) in brain-injured patients and compared its reliability with brain CT scans, finding a strong correlation between the two methods.
- In a sample of 100 ICU patients, V3 measurements were successfully taken in 87%, and the TCS results were able to detect hydrocephalus in about 89% of cases where it could be assessed.
- The study also showed that residents could achieve reliable TCS measurements after performing just five procedures, indicating a quick learning curve for this technique.
