Özet

Objectives: Intracranial hemorrhage results in an increase in intracranial pressure, which is considered to be the leading cause of brain death. Follow-up of these patients and early recognition of possible brain death are important for organ donation. It has been shown that increased intracranial pressure is proportional to the changes in optic nerve sheath diameter. The aim of this study was to investigate the usability of changes in optic nerve sheath diameter secondary to increased intracranial pressure as a precursor for identification of patients who will develop brain death.
