Official Title: The Use of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) to Estimate Intracranial Pressure (ICP)
Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to determine whether we can predict the intracranial pressure using near infra-red spectroscopy
Detailed Summary:
The management of intracranial hypertension requires the presence of an intracranial pressure monitor. We are investigating whether the waveforms obtained from a near infrared spectroscopy device can predict what the intracranial pressure is non-invasively.
- Patients with intracranial hypertension who are intubated and ventilated in the ICU will be recruited
- we will record there intracranial pressure and systemic arterial pressure
- recordings from the near infrared device will be recorded and analysed off-line
- we will correlate the waveform tracings from near infrared spectroscopy and the arterial tracing

Current Primary Outcome: Intracranial elastance [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed while an arterial line and intracranial pressure monitor is present duing the ICU admission. This is expected to be an average of 5 days. ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
