Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter: A Non-Invasive Indicator of Intracranial Pressure in the Intensive Care Unit Monitoring

ICP measurements via ventricular catheters provide CSF drainage and ICP reduction. The normal ICP value is less than 15 mmHg in adults. In the literature the correlation of ONSD and invasive ICP measurements were determined. The aim of study is to evaluate the correlation of ONSD and direct ICP measurements and to determine cut off ONSD value to detect ICP ≥15 mmHg.
