ICP monitor with epidural / subdural transductor

Explanation:
As far as I can tell, this could be related to an intra-craneal pressure monitor. A peak in intra-craneal pressure could cause cerebral edema and is therefore treated as an emergency; hence the need of real-time monitoring. And yes, this kind of monitor is a piece of equipment.
http://www.neurologyproductguide.com/bguide/User/Category/Ca...

El monitoreo de presión intracraneana (PIC) es recomendado por la mayoría de los expertos en el manejo de la FHA. Es útil tanto en el diagnóstico precoz como en el tratamiento de la hipertensión endocraneana asociada al edema cerebral de estos enfermos. Una PIC mayor de 20 mmHg se asocia usualmente a edema cerebral y debe ser tratada como una emergencia. La PIC puede aumentar en forma rápida antes de dar signos clínicos y producir la muerte cerebral antes de que pueda ser iniciado tratamiento alguno. [...]

El monitoreo directo de la PIC puede hacerse mediante monitor epidural, subdural o parenquimatoso, siendo el epidural el más seguro en términos de complicaciones como infección y sangrado (3.8% en total, versus un 20% con los monitores subdurales y parenquimatosos).

Correction: AeC2009 is right, it should be transducer, not *transductor. Beware of false friends!
