A member asked:

Are current methods of measuring intracranial pressure (icp) in patients dangerous? what are the risks associated with these procedures? do they required highly specialized personnel to perform?

Specialists: A simple lumbar puncture will give you only an instant measurement of intracranial pressure and has been done by many of us MD's during our career, but the gold standard of monitoring and managing intracranial hypertension is catheter sensor probe placement in the brain ventricle usually by a neurosurgeon, in the operating room or intensive care unit. Infection or bleeding can occur but low chance
