Post-craniotomy intracranial pressure monitoring: a novel approach combining optic nerve sheath diameter ultrasonography and cervical-cerebral arterial ultrasound by Zunfeng Fu, Lin Peng, Laicai Guo, Naixia Hu, Yamin Zhu, Shouxin Tang, Hongliang Lou, Jiajun Zhang, Chongqiang Wang

“…The correlation coefficients for the relationships between ONSD, PI ratio, FVdMCA, and PI with ICPi were 0.62, 0.33, 0.32 and 0.21, respectively, each demonstrating statistical significance (p < 0.05). Analysis of the ROC curves demonstrated that the area under the curve (AUC) for predicting elevated ICPi at thresholds of 15 mmHg, 20 mmHg, and 22 mmHg via combined ultrasonographic measurements of the PI ratio and ONSD was the largest, specifically 0.74 (95% CI: 0.65–0.82), 0.77 (95% CI: 0.69–0.85), and 0.79 (95% CI: 0.70–0.86), respectively.ConclusionUltrasonographic measurements of ONSD, PI-ratio, MCAPI and MCAFVd demonstrate a moderate to low weak correlation with ICPi measurements. …”
