• Research summary

  Non-invasive measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP) can be invaluable in the management of critically ill patients. Invasive measurement of ICP remains the gold standard and should be performed when clinical indications are met, but it is invasive and increases risk of infection. Non-invasive monitoring ICP is still a poorly-developed technique. This project is focused on comparison and refining methods for non-invasive ICP assessment based on Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) and optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), which are routinely used in the clinical practise.
