| dc.description.abstract | Intracranial Pressure (ICP) is a critical
parameter that influences cerebral perfusion and brain
oxygenation. Proper monitoring of ICP is vital,
particularly for patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
and other neurological conditions. Traditional methods of
ICP monitoring, including observational, imaging, non
invasive, and invasive techniques, present limitations such
as insufficient data, inability to provide continuous
monitoring, and potential complications from invasive
procedures. Recent advancements in nanotechnology,
particularly involving carbon nanotubes (CNTs), offer
promising alternatives for ICP monitoring. CNTs exhibit
exceptional mechanical and electrical properties, high
pressure sensitivity, and biocompatibility, making them
suitable for developing novel pressure sensors. Fabrication
of biocompatible and precise high-sensitive pressure
transducers with carbon nanotubes has been a field that is
highly researched and encouraged. This paper explores the
potential of CNT-based sensors for ICP monitoring,
emphasizing their fabrication, biocompatibility, and
biodegradability. Functionalized CNTs demonstrate
enhanced
biocompatibility
and
biodegradability,
addressing some of the safety concerns associated with
pristine CNTs. By leveraging nanotechnology, it is possible
to overcome many of the limitations of current ICP
monitoring methods, paving the way for more accurate,
reliable, and continuous monitoring solutions. This review
article explores the significant potential of CNTs in
revolutionizing biomedical applications, particularly in the
context of ICP monitoring and neurotrauma care. | en_US |
