Resumo

A hipertensão intracraniana continua a ser a causa mais frequente de morte em pacientes com traumatismo cranioencefálico. Assim, a monitoração invasiva da pressão intracraniana consiste em ferramenta de grande importância em neurointensivismo. Recentemente, resultados de um ensaio clínico questionaram a aplicação desse método. Neste artigo, realizamos uma revisão sumária da literatura referente às evidências atuais e relevância clínica da monitoração invasiva de pressão intracraniana.

Abstract

Intracranial hypertension (IH) remains the most frequent cause of death in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Thus invasive monitoring of intracranial pressure is an important tool in these patients. Recently, results of a clinical trial questioned the application of this method. This paper presents a review of the literature about evidence and clinical concerns of invasive intracranial pressure monitoring.
