What this trial is about
An increase of intracranial pressure (ICP) is an important cause of secondary brain damage. The gold standard for measuring ICP is represented by invasive positioning of intracranial ICP devices. The most used non-invasive methods (nICP) are obtained through bed-side ultrasound, routinely used in the management of children in Pediatric Intensive Care: arterial Trancranial Doppler (TCD) and ultrasound measurement of the diameter of the optic nerve sheath (ONSD ). In this study it is proposed to compare the measurement of nICP obtained by TCD and ONSD versus the measurement obtained by the invasive monitoring (iICP) already present.
