[Use of invasive intracranial pressure monitoring in patients with severe traumatic brain injury].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the use of invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring on treatment outcomes in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).

MATERIAL AND METHODS: We analyzed 50 case histories of patients with severe TBI who received treatment in the Krasnoyarsk Regional Clinical Hospital for the period 2021-2022. Comparisons were made between patients with and without invasive intraventricular ICP monitoring.

RESULTS: With the same initial condition of patients, ICP monitoring allows for a faster and more timely response to changes in the clinical condition, which significantly affects the clinical outcome.

CONCLUSION: The use of invasive ICP monitoring improves the outcome of treatment of patients with severe TBI and justifies the money spent on it.
