The brain is protected by the skull. Injury to the brain may
result in swelling. The skull is made of solid bone and the
brain has no room to expand when swelling occurs. 

ICP Monitoring is done to reduce swelling and monitor
brain pressures.The brain injured patient is at risk for
 seizures. This should be reflected in the

plan of care. Learn more, by watching the videos:
