Impact of Intracranial Pressure Monitoring on Mortality in Patients with Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Abstract

I CP monitoring may play a role in decreasing the rate of electrolyte disturbances, rate of renal failure, and increasing favorable functional outcome. However, there was no significant effect for reducing the risk of hospital mortality, lowering occurrence rate of pulmonary infection, use of mechanical ventilation, and duration of hospital stays. RCTs with larger sample size are necessary to further support the current results.
