6.7.1. sensor placement instructions
Assessing the braincare brain4care waveform
The best position for ICP waveform monitoring is a resting supine position at 30 degrees with the chin and sternum aligned (Figure 6.7-1) and the head should not be tilted. The patient must be resting and avoid any movements since that can interfere with the ICP waveform reading.
