Key Points

  • The goal is to assess the impact of intracranial pressure on long-term outcomes in pediatric traumatic brain injury.
  • Measured intracranial pressure levels in pediatric patients with traumatic brain injury.
  • Analyzed associations between sustained ICP elevations and functional outcomes.
  • Conducted a prospective evaluation to corroborate findings.
  • Sustained ICP elevations above 14 to 15 mm Hg correlated with poor long-term functional outcomes.
  • Current treatment threshold of 20 mm Hg may be too high for pediatric traumatic brain injury.

Abstract

In this study, sustained ICP elevations above 14 to 15 mm Hg were associated with poor long-term functional outcomes in pTBI warranting prospective evaluation. These findings suggest that the current treatment threshold of 20 mm Hg maybe too high for pTBI.
