PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 24 hours

Population: Everyone who completed the trial was included except for fourteen subjects had incomplete data and could not be included in this analysis.

Variability of intracranial pressure was assessed and listed as the standard deviation of all measurements within 24 hours. Variability was assessed and listed as the standard deviation of all measurements within 24 hours

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 24 hours

Population: Everyone who completed the trial was included except for nineteen subjects had incomplete data and could not be included in this analysis.

Using computational methods, the PRx was determined by calculating the correlation coefficient between 20 consecutive, time-averaged data points (60-second periods) of ICP and Arterial Blood Pressure (ABP). A positive PRx correlation suggests impaired cerebrovascular pressure reactivity, that is, passive transmission of changes in ABP to ICP. A negative PRx correlation indicates good pressure reactivity. Any change in ABP produces inverse changes in ICP.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 hours

Population: Everyone who started the trial was included except for one subject had incomplete data and could not be included in this analysis.

Improved physiologic Response. A lower use of sedatives or analgesic during treatment would be considered an improved physiologic response. An increase in the use of sedatives or analgesic during treatment would be considered a worse physiologic response.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 24 hours

Population: Everyone who started the trial was included except for seventeen subjects had incomplete data and could not be included in this analysis.

Improved physiologic Response. A lower variability of mean Arterial Blood pressure during treatment would be considered an improved physiologic response. A higher variability of mean Arterial Blood pressure during treatment would be considered a worse physiologic response. Variability was assessed and listed as the standard deviation of all measurements within 24 hours.
