TMD baseline pressure measurements at Kilifi District Hospital. Semi-recumbent (A) TMD baseline pressure measurements were greater (more negative) for HDU children (inpatient coma) (mean −61.3 (95 % CI −93.5 to −29.1) nl, n = 63) than for OPD normal children (mean −7.1 (95 % CI −54.0 to 68.3) nl; n = 24, P = 0.03). Recumbent (B) measurements were similarly greater for HDU children (mean −61.4 (95 % CI −93.4 to −29.3) nl, n = 59) than for OPD children (mean −25.9 (95 % CI −71.4 to 123.2) nl; n = 17, P = 0.03). HDU children showed much less variation with a mean clustered around −60 nl
