Purpose: Individuals with TBI are at risk of intracranial hypertension (ICH), and monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) is usually indicated. However, despite many new noninvasive devices, none is sufficiently accurate and effective for application in clinical practice, particularly in the management of TBIs. This study aimed to compare the noninvasive Brain4Care system (nICP) with invasive ICP (iICP) curve parameters in their ability to predict ICH and functional prognosis in severe TBI.
