However, it is yet unknown whether fluctuations in ICP result in direct changes in ONSD. Therefore, the authors researched whether ONSD and ICP simultaneously change during tracheal manipulation in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>MATERIALS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The authors included 18 ICP-monitored patients who had sustained TBI and were admitted to the ICU. They examined the optic nerve sheath by performing ultrasound before, during, and after tracheal manipulation, which is known to increase ICP. The correlation between ONSD and ICP measurements was determined, and the diagnostic performance of ONSD measurement was tested using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>In all patients ICP increased above 20 mm Hg during manipulation of the trachea, and this increase was directly associated with a dilation of the ONSD of &gt; 5.0 mm. After tracheal manipulation stopped, ICP as well as ONSD decreased immediately to baseline levels. The correlation between ICP and ONSD was high (R<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 0.80); at a cutoff of \u2265 5.0 mm ONSD, a sensitivity of 94%, a specificity of 98%, and an area under the curve of 0.99 (95% CI 0.97\u20131.00) for detecting elevated ICP were determined.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>In patients who have sustained a TBI, ultrasonography of the ONSD is an accurate, simple, and rapid measurement for detecting elevated ICP as well as immediate changes in ICP. Therefore, it might be a useful tool to monitor ICP, especially in conditions in which invasive ICP monitoring is not available, such as at trauma scenes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2014.10.jns141197","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,8]],"date-time":"2015-05-08T13:59:09Z","timestamp":1431093549000},"page":"743-747","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":183,"title":["Ultrasonographic measured optic nerve sheath diameter as an accurate and quick monitor for changes in intracranial pressure"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"123","author":[{"given":"Iscander M.","family":"Maissan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Anesthesiology,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Perjan J.
