DOI: 10.1177/000992288502400605 Intracranial Pressure Monitoring by Subarachnoid Bolt in Comatose ChildrenChildren's Lung Center and the Pediatric Intensive Care Units, Miller Children's Hospital Medical Center, 2801 Atlantic Avenue, Long Beach. CA 90801-1428
The safety of intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring by the subarachnoid bolt was studied in 124 comatose children with global (103 patients) and focal (21 patients) cerebral lesions. None of the children developed cerebral hematoma, diffuse bleeding, epileptical focus, or local or systemic infection. Based on our experience, we advocate the use of the subarachnoid bolt for the purpose of ICP monitoring as a simple and safe modality.
