The value of dynamic cerebral compliance monitoring after pediatric traumatic brain injury: a STARSHIP study sub-analysis
Authors' conclusion
PSI enhances bedside monitoring of pediatric TBI by enabling dynamic assessment of cerebral compliance. Variations in PSI appear to precede subsequent ICP insults and are associated with their severity, thereby potentially facilitating timely interventions.
