    This study introduces a safe and reliable method to measure intracranial pressure (ICP) reserve by injecting fluid. This technique offers early warnings for potential complications like brain swelling and reoperations.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neurology
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is crucial for managing severe brain injuries.
    • Assessing the brain's compensatory capacity is vital for predicting patient outcomes.
    • Existing methods may not provide early detection of neurological deterioration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and validate a novel method for quantifying "ICP reserve" dynamically.
    • To assess the reliability, safety, and tolerability of the ICP reserve test.
    • To evaluate the utility of ICP reserve in monitoring therapeutic responses and predicting complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Sequential subdural fluid injections via an ICP monitoring catheter in 30 patients.
    • Measurement of ICP reserve over 155 days, involving 136 determinations.

  • Dynamic assessment of brain's compensatory mechanisms over a five-minute interval.

    • Main Results:

    • The ICP reserve test was found to be reliable, safe, and well tolerated.
    • Deteriorating ICP reserve provided early warnings for reoperation (hematoma, swelling, reaccumulation).
    • ICP reserve changes preceded baseline ICP changes by up to 48 hours and clinical deterioration by up to 72 hours.

    Conclusions:

    • ICP reserve testing is a valuable tool for monitoring postoperative brain edema evolution.
    • This dynamic assessment offers predictive insights into neurological status and the need for intervention.
    • ICP reserve measurement enhances the management of patients with elevated intracranial pressure.
