ONSD Trajectory in Rebound ICH

NCT07722702 · Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this prospective observational study is to determine whether the trajectory of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) after osmotherapy weaning can predict rebound intracranial hypertension in adult patients with traumatic brain injury requiring osmotherapy for elevated intracranial pressure. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the trajectory of ONSD during osmotherapy weaning predict the development of rebound intracranial hypertension? What is the diagnostic accuracy of serial ONSD measurements for the early detection of rebound intracranial hypertension? Researchers will compare patients who develop rebound intracranial hypertension with those who do not to determine whether changes in ONSD trajectory differ significantly between the two groups.

Participants will:

Undergo serial bedside ocular ultrasound examinations for ONSD measurement at predefined time points after osmotherapy weaning.

Receive standard clinical management for traumatic brain injury according to institutional protocols; no additional therapeutic intervention will be administered.

Undergo routine neurological assessments, laboratory investigations, and neuroimaging as clinically indicated.

Be followed for the occurrence of rebound intracranial hypertension and relevant clinical outcomes during their ICU stay

Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Ultrasonography

Serial ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) will be performed bilaterally using a standardized transorbital ultrasound technique immediately before osmotherapy reduction or discontinuation (baseline) and at 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours after weaning. Additional measurements may be obtained if clinical deterioration suggestive of rebound intracranial hypertension occurs. ONSD measurements are performed for observational purposes only and will not influence routine clinical management.
