Noninvasive epicutaneous transfontanelle intracranial pressure monitoring in children under the age of 1 year: a novel technique

What is it about?

We have developed a new technique that allows noninvasive epicutaneous transfontanelle ICP measurement with standard ICP probes. The advantage of using an epidural (epicutaneous) device is that it is less invasive and entails less risk of infection or intracranial hemorrhage than an intraparenchymal or intraventricular method. We could Show that our new method of ICP Monitoring is safe, not invasive and provides similiar results like epidural invasive ICP Monitoring.
