intracranial monitoring

Intracranial monitoring involves placing specialized sensors inside the skull to measure brain activity, pressure, blood flow, or oxygen levels directly within the brain. This helps doctors assess conditions like severe head injuries, seizures, or swelling, providing real-time, detailed information that can't be obtained from outside the skull. By accurately monitoring these parameters, medical teams can make informed decisions about treatment options, interventions, or surgeries to improve patient outcomes. The procedure is performed under sterile conditions and with careful precision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
