Non Invasive Measurement With Trans Cranial Doppler Versus Invasive Measurement in Pediatric Age

The Accuracy of Intracranial Pressure Non Invasive Measurement With Trans Cranial Doppler Versus Invasive Measurement in Pediatric Age


Sponsor

Azienda Ospedaliera di Padova

Enrollment

46 participants

Start Date

Jul 1, 2022

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

An increase of intracranial pressure (ICP) is an important cause of secondary brain damage. The gold standard for measuring ICP is represented by invasive positioning of intracranial ICP devices. The most used non-invasive methods (nICP) are obtained through bed-side ultrasound, routinely used in the management of children in Pediatric Intensive Care: arterial Trancranial Doppler (TCD) and ultrasound measurement of the diameter of the optic nerve sheath (ONSD ). In this study it is proposed to compare the measurement of nICP obtained by TCD and ONSD versus the measurement obtained by the invasive monitoring (iICP) already present.


Eligibility

Max Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is comparing a non-invasive brain monitoring method (transcranial Doppler ultrasound, which uses sound waves to measure blood flow in brain vessels) against invasive pressure monitors placed directly in the brain, in children who already require brain pressure monitoring as part of their care. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a child who already has an invasive brain pressure monitor placed as part of your medical treatment - Your parent or guardian has provided informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a fracture at the base of the skull - Informed consent has not been provided Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
