Abstract

traumatic brain injury (TBI), but different approaches to monitoring exist. The aim of this Abstract: Journal of Neurotrauma Page 4 of 41 Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is one of the mainstays in the treatment of severe systematic review and meta-analysis is to compare the effectiveness and complication rate of ventricular drainage (VD) versus intracranial parenchymal (IP) catheters to monitor and treat raised ICP in patients with TBI.
