Comparison of EVD and Prankimal Monitors for ICP Monitoring

This chapter explores the pros and cons of using EVD and Prankimal monitors for intracranial pressure monitoring, highlighting the effectiveness of EVD in direct intervention despite its invasive nature, contrasted with the convenience of Prankimal monitors that may not offer as accurate ICP readings. Additionally, it discusses the characteristics of the typical ICP waveform, including P1, P2, and P3 spikes, as well as Lundberg A waves signaling auto-regulation issues.
