ABSTRACT
Point-of-care ultrasound ismodifying conducts in emergency care. The variousmedical specialties, in addition to traditional indications in cases of multiple trauma, are using this technique for rapid diagnosis at the bedside without patient mobilization and without radiation. Point-of-care ultrasound in neurocritical patients, through its transorbital window, can estimate the intracranial pressure by a non-invasive method. Through the measurement of the diameter of the optic nerve sheath 3mmposterior to the retina, the intracranial pressure is estimated if the value of the diameter is >5mm, as it has been verified in other studies. The present article describes the most current data on this topic, and it also highlights the need formoremulticentric and randomized trials to determine the correct cut-off points that represent the high sensibility and specificity of the method.
