Intracranial compartment syndrome in traumatic brain injury patients
This information is provided directly by researchers, and we recognise that it isn't always easy to understand. We are working with researchers to improve the accessibility of this information. In some summaries, you may come across links to external websites. These websites will have more information to help you better understand the study.
This study focuses on traumatic brain injuries (TBI), a condition that can cause severe intracranial pressure and life-threatening complications. This study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of a standard intervention called ventriculostomy for managing increased intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Elevated ICP is a critical condition that can result in brain damage or death if not treated promptly. The goal is to reduce complications like catheter displacement and improve outcomes for patients with intracranial compartment syndrome (ICCS).
Start dates may differ between countries and research sites. The research team are responsible for keeping the information up-to-date.
The recruitment start and end dates are as follows:
You can take part if:
You may not be able to take part if:
1. TBI patients arriving at the emergency room after 24 hours following trauma2. Normal CT scan at the emergency room3. Abnormal CT scan at the emergency room with any primary injury and a midline shift less than 3mm or without basal cistern compression and with normal values in at least two different modalities of assessing ICCS (pupillometry, optic nerve sheath ultrasound, transcranial Doppler and/or non-invasive ICP waveform analyzer4. Age less than 18 or more than 70 years old5. Polytrauma or massive brain injury with survival expectancy <24 hours6. Cranial decompression or cranial expansion surgical procedures performed >24 hours after the trauma
