The Effects of Intracranial Pressure on Outcomes

In 1995 the brain channel foundation guidelines considered intracranial hypertension as a pressure of 20 millimeters Hg and remains so until 2012. A single study published by Cernetino believe in the Cambridge group it was a retrospective study in 459 patients where they took into consideration also the cerebral reactivity of the cerebral auto regulation. Based on this single study they increased the threshold to 22 millimeter Hg which is just two millimeters HG does this make a significant difference on the outcome of these patients well possibly not but that's what the present threshold is another important concept is the dose of the intensity now if we were to compare the intensity of intracrania pressure to let's
