NEUROVENT measuring catheters serve to provide reliable measurement during invasive neurosurgical procedures, in particular:

1. IOP (intracranial pressure) measurement.

Continuous monitoring of intracranial pressure (IOP) is a crucial and invasive procedure for accurately assessing the pressure within the skull.

2- Measuring temperature in the brain.

In addition to monitoring intracranial pressure (IOP), temperature measurement is an additional parameter that allows tracking patients undergoing intensive neurosurgical monitoring.

The temperature in the brain is different from the core body temperature. By measuring the temperature, inflammatory processes and dangerous temperature rises in the brain can be detected at an early stage. Moreover, monitoring the difference between brain and body temperatures provides additional information about intact brain thermoregulation.

3- Measuring the partial pressure of oxygen in the brain.

After primary brain damage caused by a traumatic event, such as an accident or subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), there is a high risk of secondary brain tissue damage. Oxygen deficiency in the brain is thought to be the primary cause of this. In most patients, increased IOP (intracranial pressure) adversely affects cerebral perfusion and, thus, can cause cerebral ischaemia. This temporary or permanent imbalance between oxygen supply to brain tissue and oxygen demand can cause tissue damage and possible necrosis.
