【 摘 要 】

This article reviews the current monitoring and management options for raised intracranial pressure (ICP), primarily in traumatic head injuries, in line with current literature and guidelines. The use of ICP monitoring is useful in managing, predicting outcomes, following the progression and guiding interventions of neurological disease states.Patients with raised ICP should be monitored closely in a neurocritical care setting where appropriate interventions can be instituted based on available monitoring parameters. Various first- and second-tier methods should be considered, with the primary goal to decrease secondary insult to brain tissue for best outcomes.
