Correlation Intraocular Pressure With Intracranial Pressure

• Conditions: Intraocular Pressure; Trauma, Brain; Children, Only; Intracranial Pressure Increase

• Registration Number: NCT03344432
• Lead Sponsor: Hospital Civil de Guadalajara

Brief Summary

Severe Trauma Brain Injury (TBIs) is a public health problem and monitoring of Intracranial Pressure (ICP) is a determinant key of it prognosis. Within the noninvasive methods to estimate the ICP, the measurement of intraocular pressure has been proposed because of its biological plausibility (proximity of the eye to the encephalic contend).

Objective. Correlate intraocular pressure with ICP in children with TBIs and obtain their utility values.

Detailed Description

Severe Trauma Brain Injury (TBIs) is a public health problem and monitoring of Intracranial Pressure (ICP) is a determinant key of it prognosis. Within the noninvasive methods to estimate the ICP, the measurement of intraocular pressure has been proposed because of its biological plausibility (proximity of the eye to the encephalic contend).

Objective. Correlate intraocular pressure with ICP in children with TBIs and obtain their utility values.

Material and methods. Correlation and diagnostic test design study. Inclusion criteria: children with TBIs admitted to the emergency room and indication of catheter for ICP measurement.

Exclusion criteria: injury or ophthalmic disease, glaucoma, encephalic death. Intraocular pressure was measured with electronic tonometer in both eyes prior to placement of the catheter for ICP measurement.

Correlation was estimated with Spearman's Rho. The utility values of the diagnostic test were obtained from an Receiver Operating Characteristic curve.
