Abstract
Objective: To analyze, from the perspective of current medical literature, non-invasive intracranial pressure monitoring techniques. Bibliographic review: Adequate adjustment of sustained intracranial hypertension (ICH) is related to a significant reduction in morbidity and mortality rates. Therefore, monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) is essential. Historically, the standard method for monitoring ICP has involved installing our intracranial catheters. This methodology can generate complications and professional requirements for your installation. From this is available a better technological understanding, a better understanding of physiology, and an availability of non-invasive methods of measuring physiology of the physiology that has been coming into non-practical clinical practice. This ICP monitoring device is no longer used today: Transcranial Tomography (TCD), Transcranial Doppler (TCD), Diameter Computer (Pupilometer and Brain4care) and Brain4care. Final considerations: Pupillometer and Brain4Care stand out as promising methods in some hospital settings, especially in relation to data reliability and clinical practicality. Multicenter studies with larger samples are still methods to define the applicability of these
