The peak incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been reported in children and young adults. Intracranial pressure (ICP) as an important component can be measured with invasive technique, whereas noninvasive measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is increasingly becoming popular. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has been found to affect ICP. We aimed to compare the effect of different values of PEEP on ONSD and to obtain the correlation with ICP measurement.
