ABSTRACT
The clinical course of 42 children with intracranial pressure monitoring was reviewed. Intracranial hypertension was documented in a variety of diagnostic categories. Therapy was titrated to maintain a baseline intracranial pressure of less than 15 torr (mm Hg), and to decrease the frequency of spontaneous and reactive pressure waves. Ventricular drainage, controlled hyperventilation, intravenous glycerol osmotherapy, therapeutic hypothermia, and barbiturate loading were employed as needed to achieve those goals. Survival was significantly related to average and peak intracranial pressure levels and to the degree of serum hyperosmolality that developed during therapy.
