Studying Trends of Auto-Regulation in Severe Head Injury in Paediatrics

This is an observational prospective cohort study. Children admitted to ten identified PICUs in the UK with severe TBI with a clinical need for ICP and ABP monitoring will be included for data collection. The database will contain routinely monitored physiological parameters during management of PTBI in PICU. Without disturbing the routine care and management of these patients, investigators aim to collect this data continuously in a bedside laptop equipped with the study software (ICM+, Cambridge Enterprise Ltd, Cambridge, UK). Alongside these physiological parameters, investigators will also collect relevant clinical and demographic data (details below) and follow these patients for up to 12 months post ictus to assess neuro-psychological outcome.
