Pediatric ICP: Why Children Need Different Monitoring
Growing skulls, decades of follow-up and a low tolerance for repeat radiation make children a distinct monitoring challenge.

Why Intracranial Pressure Is the Missing Vital Sign
Heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation are tracked everywhere. Brain pressure is not — and that gap costs patients.
