Correlation between intracranial pressure and pulsatility index measured by transcranial Doppler in children with severe trauma brain injury

Introduction This study was designed to see whether there is a correlation between the transcranial Doppler (TCD) parameters and the CCP and intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring during the cerebral hemodynamic changes and to evaluate ICP indirectly by TCD. A strong correlation between PI and ICP was demonstrated. [...]PI may be of guiding value in the invasive ICP placement decision in the neurointensive care patient when ICP monitoring is not systematically performed.
