Filter by:Reverse Trendelenburg position has been shown to slightly reduce the intracranial pressure associated with pneumoperitoneum. However, there are no studies on the effect of the timing of reverse Trendelenburg position on intracranial pressure. This study will monitor the effect of reverse Trendelenburg position before or after pneumoperitoneum on intracranial pressure and regional cerebral oxygen saturation.

Osmotherapy with mannitol has been a common practice in patients with raised ICP. Monitoring its effect on ICP can be performed invasively and non-invasively. Due to a validated correlation between invasive ICP monitoring and ONSD measurement, it can be a tool to monitor acute and long term effects of osmotherapy non-invasively on ICP. This study examines the acute changes in sonographically measured ONSD brought about by the administration of mannitol. This can correlate with the changes in ICP in such patients and can be utilized as a tool for decision making/ point-of-care utility.
Two distinction fluids are used in operative hysteroscopy. One is monopolar and the second is bipolar. The monopolar fluid contains mannitol and the bipolar fluid contains serum physiologic. This study aims to compare intracranial pressure in patients undergoing monopolar and bipolar hysteroscopy.
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a syndrome characterized by elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) of unknown etiology. The investigators aim to study the quantitative D-dimer level and the role of anticoagulant therapy in the absence of occlusive sinus thrombosis in IIH patients.
Patient undergoing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in steep trendelenburg position are at risk to develop complication from brain edema. Ultrasound assessment of optical nerve sheath diameter is a simply, non-invasive method to estimate the increase of intracranial pressure. It is unknown how optical nerve sheath diameter changes after prolonged head down position.
The purpose of this study is to further elaborate the role of both arterial blood pressure and end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration on measured venous pressures.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change of the optic nerve sheath diameter after deflation of pneumatic tourniquet.
Since decades, neurosurgeons and neurooncologists assumed that the mass effect of brain tumors with peritumoral edema or intratumoral hemorrhage might lead to increased ICP. Therefore, decisions on surgical procedures and medical treatments were made based on clinical and radiological findings suggesting increased ICP. But in fact, no measurement has ever confirmed increased ICP in brain tumor patients. From an ethical point of view, it is not justifiable to implant an intraparenchymal ICP probe within an invasive surgical procedure in a brain tumor patient unless the patient is comatose or present with rapid impairment of the level of consciousness. Therefore, with the new medical device for non-invasive ICP measurement presented in this study protocol, we will be able to measure absolute ICP values in patients with brain tumors.
The motivation results from the fact, that an intra-abdominal pressure is correlated with cerebral perfusion, in a mechanism of reducing venous outflow. Moreover, elevated intra-abdominal pressure leads to increase in intracranial pressure and decrease of cerebral perfusion pressure. The main aim of the study was to investigate an influence of increase in intra-abdominal pressure on cerebral oxygenation measured with the use of non-invasive optical technique.
