Funded Activity Summary

Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) commonly occurs after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and is thought to be responsible for up to 50% of all mortality, as well as significantly contributing to the persistent neurological deficits in survivors. Few studies have examined the dynamics of raised ICP after TBI, or its effects on brain oxygenation. This study will fully characterize changes in ICP and brain oxygen after TBI and develop novel treatments to control such changes.
