Camino icp monitor

Arterial blood pressure (ABP) was obtained through either radial or femoral arterial lines connected to pressure transducers (Baxter Healthcare Corp. CardioVascular Group, Irvine, CA, or similar devices). ICP was acquired via an intra-parenchymal strain gauge probe (Codman ICP MicroSensor; Codman & Shurtleff Inc., Raynham, MA), parenchymal fiber optic pressure sensor (Camino ICP Monitor, Integra Life Sciences, Plainsboro, NJ, United States; https://www.integralife.com/) or external ventricular drain (in 3 patients). All signals were recorded using digital data transfer or digitized via an A/D converter (DT9801; Data Translation, Marlboro, MA), where appropriate, sampled at frequency of 100 Hertz (Hz) or higher, using the ICM + software (Cambridge Enterprise Ltd, Cambridge, UK, http://icmplus.neurosurg.cam.ac.uk) or Moberg CNS Monitor (Moberg Research Inc, Ambler, PA, USA) or a combination of both. Signal artifacts were removed using both manual and automated methods prior to further processing or analysis.

For this ongoing prospective TBI database, all patient demographics, injury and treatment information were either manually collected by a medical professional or automatically recorded using Clinisoft (Centricity Critical Care, CCC, General Electric Company, Boston). The drug infusion rates and physiological variables were recorded with Clinisoft, which included the timestamped pharmacological and physiological data. In this study, continuous infusions as well as bolus doses of the sedatives propofol, midazolam, morphine, fentanyl and alfentanil and the vasopressor agents dobutamine, noradrenaline, vasopressin, and ephedrine, and the physiological variables (ABP and ICP) were analyzed.

ICP was acquired via an intra-parenchymal strain gauge probe (Codman ICP MicroSensor; Codman & Shurtleff Inc., Raynham, MA), raumedic catheter Neurovent-P (Raumedic AG, Münchberg, Germany), parenchymal fiber optic pressure sensor (Camino ICP Monitor, Integra Life Sciences, Plainsboro, NJ, United States; https://www.integralife.com/) or using external ventricular drains (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN). Again, both ABP and ICP data were directly linked to a Clinisoft database.
