Evaluation of a New Catheter for Simultaneous Intracranial Pressure Monitoring and Cerebral Spinal Fluid Drainage: A Pilot Study.

This study compared a new FLEX ventricular catheter with conventional fluid-coupled manometer for ICP waveform monitoring. Strong concordance in ICP value and waveform morphology between the two systems indicates that this catheter can be used for reliability for both clinical and research applications.
