Abstract
One of the essential problems in brain injuries is the early recognition, diagnostic clarification, and precise treatment of post-traumatic increases in intracranial pressure (1, 4, 7). A continuous monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) after severe craniocerebral trauma allows ominous rises in ICP to be recognized appreciably earlier than by clinical observation of the patient (4, 9). Intracranial hematomas or a traumatic brain edema can thus be clarified diagnostically in time and treated accurately with simultaneous control of the result.
