Early identification of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is critical to ensuring timely and appropriate management to improve patient outcome. Measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter by ultrasound is a well studied modality for noninvasive assessment of ICP. Recent studies have shown it to correlate with invasively measured ICP. We utilized this technique in our ICU and found it to be of great help in guiding patient management and predicting the prognosis. A case series of four patients is reported illustrating its utility in ICU patients.
早期识别颅内压（ICP）升高对于确保及时、恰当的治疗以改善患者预后至关重要。通过超声测量视神经鞘直径是一种经过充分研究的用于无创评估颅内压的方法。最近的研究表明它与有创测量的颅内压相关。我们在重症监护病房（ICU）应用了这项技术，发现它对指导患者治疗和预测预后有很大帮助。本文报告了一个包含四名患者的病例系列，阐述了其在ICU患者中的应用价值。
