Gwenith, Sorry I was so vague, I'm a bit embarrassed by my ignorance in this subject! :stone It's the Intraventricular ICP Monitor that I'm interested in, but I'm not sure if it's the fiber optic fluid fillled transducer that's used. I understand that it can be the most accurate, it can drain CSF as well, but it's highly invasive and theres an increased chance of infection. Thank You, Christine

Hello Everyone, I'm taking a Nursing Informatics and Technology course this summer. I have a presentation in this class and I have choosen the ICP Monitor as my subject. I looking for a few people who could briefly share their experiences using this type of technology. I have a basic knowledge of how the monitor works, but the main focus of this project is the nurse's reaction/experience not it's operation. For example: Pros/Cons User friendly? What was the predecessor? How did that differ from ICP monitor of today? Observations of the patient's reactions Your time, consideration and input very much appreciated! :) Regards, Christine
