Effects of Head-of-Bed on Intracranial Pressure

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how pressure inside the skull responds to position changes in patients with brain bleeds.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage confirmed by CT scan, MRI, or cerebral angiogram
  2. * Age ≥ 18 years old
  3. * Patients with intracranial pressure monitoring device
  4. * Patients with continuous arterial blood pressure monitoring
  5. * The subject or legally authorized representative must be available and able to consent
  1. * Intubated patients who are prone
