INTRAVENTRICULAR CATHETER
An epidural sensor is inserted between the skull and dural tissue. The epidural
sensor is placed through a hole drilled in the skull. This procedure is less
invasive than other methods, but it cannot remove excess CSF.
The waveforms produced from the ICP monitoring can be used to infer the underlying pathology
present. The wave forms produced are summarised in Table
The height order of the wave phases on monitoring should be P1 > P2 > P3. If P2 is highest, this
indicates potential raised ICP
