Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Subjects who have invasive intracranial pressure monitors in place will have recordings of central retinal vein pulsation pressure by ophthalmodynomometry 4 times over 24 hours.
Intervention code [1] 4433 0
Diagnosis / Prognosis
Comparator / control treatment
central retinal vein pulsation pressure will be compared to intracranial pressure measurement.This will be done 4 times over 24 hours. The central retinal vein pulsation pressure will be ascertained by ophthalmodynomometry.
