Study Description

Brief Summary

Background: Although placement of an intra-cerebral catheter remains the gold standard method for measuring intracranial pressure (ICP), there are several limitations to the method. Objectives: The main objective of this study was to compare the correlation and the agreement of the wave morphology between the ICP (standard ICP monitoring) and a new nICP monitor in patients admitted with stroke. Our secondary objective was to estimate the accuracy of four non-invasive methods to assess intracranial hypertension. Methods: We prospectively collected data of adults admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) or ischemic stroke (IS) in whom invasive ICP monitoring placed. Measures had been simultaneously collected from the following non-invasive indices: optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), pulsatility index (PI) using transcranial Doppler (TCD), a 5-point visual scale designed for Computed Tomography (CT) and two parameters (time-to-peak [TTP] and P2/P1 ratio) of a non-invasive ICP wave morphology monitor (Brain4care[B4c]). Intracranial hypertension was defined as an invasively measured ICP > 20 mmHg for at least five minutes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Comparison between ICP morphology between a non invasive (Brain4care [B4c]) and a invasive (intraventricular) method [At least 30 minutes for every patient]

    Parameter of the ICP wave between methods were compared (P2/P1 ratio)

  2. Comparison between ICP morphology between a non invasive (Brain4care [B4c]) and a invasive (intraventricular) method [At least 30 minutes for every patient]

    Parameter of the ICP wave between methods were compared (Time-to-Peak)

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Estimation of Intracranial Hypertension using Transcranial Doppler [At least 5 minutes after EVD closure]

    We measured the Pulsatility Index using transcranial Doppler (TCD) and calculated a ROC curve to calculate its discriminatory power

  2. Estimation of Intracranial Hypertension using optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) [At least 5 minutes after EVD closure]

    We measured the ONSD for both eyes and calculated a ROC curve to evaluate its discriminatory power in detecting Intracranial Hypertension

  3. Estimation of Intracranial Hypertension using a non-invasive ICP wave parameter (P2/P1 ratio). [At least 5 minutes after EVD closure]

    We measured the mean P2/P1 ratio and calculated a ROC curve to evaluate its discriminatory power in detecting Intracranial Hypertension. We calculated the points in the scale and built a ROC curve to evaluate its discriminatory power in detecting Intracranial Hypertension

  4. Estimation of Intracranial Hypertension using a non-invasive ICP wave parameter (Time-to_peak). [At least 5 minutes after EVD closure]

    We measured the mean TTP and calculated a ROC curve to evaluate its discriminatory power in detecting Intracranial Hypertension.

  5. Estimation of Intracranial Hypertension using a 5-point visual scale designed for Computed Tomography (CT) [At least 5 minutes after EVD closure]

    We calculated the points in the scale and built a ROC curve to evaluate its discriminatory power in detecting Intracranial Hypertension
