The current Brain Trauma Foundation (BTF) guidelines suggest ICP monitoring for all TBI patients with a GCS score < 9 and pathological findings on cranial CT
imaging.
In unconscious patients with unremarkable cranial CT findings, ICP monitoring should still be considered if two of the following criteria are present:
* age > 40 years
* unilateral or bilateral motor deficits
* systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg 🏳️
