Summary

The aim of this study is to determine whether we can predict the intracranial pressure using near infra-red spectroscopy

Detailed description

The management of intracranial hypertension requires the presence of an intracranial pressure monitor. We are investigating whether the waveforms obtained from a near infrared spectroscopy device can predict what the intracranial pressure is non-invasively. * Patients with intracranial hypertension who are intubated and ventilated in the ICU will be recruited * we will record there intracranial pressure and systemic arterial pressure * recordings from the near infrared device will be recorded and analysed off-line * we will correlate the waveform tracings from near infrared spectroscopy and the arterial tracing
