Non-invasive Epicutaneous Transfontanel Intracranial Pressure Monitoring in Children Under the Age of One: a Novel Technique
- Conditions
- Hydrocephalus
- Registration Number
- NCT02775669
- Lead Sponsor
- University Clinic Frankfurt
- Brief Summary
Investigators compare the ICP of two standard Spiegelberg ICP-probes in children, which underwent an operation due to craniosynostosis.
- Detailed Description
The investigators compare the ICP of two standard Spiegelberg ICP-probes in children, which underwent an operation and Implantation of an external ventricle drain or a subdural ICP Monitoring devise. The second ICP probe is fixed epicutaneously on the skin over the frontal fontanel. The hourly measured ICPs within 24 hours postoperatively were compared with the Bland-Altman two methods analysis.
