BRAINSAFE Development of a new, non invasive absolute Intracranial Pressure (aICP) measurement device based on ultrasound and Doppler technologies

Coordinator: UAB Vittamed (LT)

Only invasive technologies only for diagnostics of Intracranial Pressure (ICP) for patients with severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) are available today. The procedure requires neurosurgeon to place the catheter inside the patient´s skull that exposes the patients to the risk of infection (5%), bleeding, leak of fluids or loss of other body tissue, pain, hyperthermia as well as risks related to anaesthetics. Relative to these risks and complexity of the procedure, only 20% of all TBI patients get access to the diagnostics of ICP, leaving out 1,280,000 TBI patients without proper examination o…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €896k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 2 years from 2009-10-01 to 2011-09-30.
