Abstract
Aims:
Some is known from studies on burn animal models. Burn patients can develop intracranial hypertension. The aim of study is to evaluate feasibility of non-invasive methods for the diagnosis of intracranial hypertension.
Methods:
Burns patients were enrolled and studied through ultrasound measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter and transcranial Doppler.
Results:
In the 20 patients studied, no pathological values were identified without correlations with the extension of the burn.
Conclusions:
Starting from animal models, it is legitimate to suspect an underestimation of neuro-complications. The study demonstrates that these methods are applicable to this population, representing an effective method reducing the incidence of neuro-complications.
