The goal of this prospective observational study is to determine whether the trajectory of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) after osmotherapy weaning can predict rebound intracranial hypertension in adult patients with traumatic brain injury requiring osmotherapy for elevated intracranial pressure. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does the trajectory of ONSD during osmotherapy weaning predict the development of rebound intracranial hypertension? What is the diagnostic accuracy of serial ONSD measurements for the early detection of rebound intracranial hypertension? Researchers will compare patients who develop rebound intracranial hypertension with those who do not to determine whether changes in ONSD trajectory differ significantly between the two groups.
Participants will:
Undergo serial bedside ocular ultrasound examinations for ONSD measurement at predefined time points after osmotherapy weaning.
Receive standard clinical management for traumatic brain injury according to institutional protocols; no additional therapeutic intervention will be administered.
Undergo routine neurological assessments, laboratory investigations, and neuroimaging as clinically indicated.
Be followed for the occurrence of rebound intracranial hypertension and relevant clinical outcomes during their ICU stay

Adult patients with traumatic brain injury receiving osmotherapy for intracranial hypertension who undergo protocol-defined osmotherapy weaning. Participants will undergo serial optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurements before and after osmotherapy reduction or discontinuation and will be followed prospectively for the development of rebound intracranial hypertension and related clinical outcomes.
