AN EXTENSION OF THE INFORMATION-GAINS ABOUT THE INTRACRANIAL-PRESSURE MEASUREMENT THROUGH INTRACRANIAL-PRESSURE AMPLITUDES (PA) - ANALYSIS OF MEDIUM INTRACRANIAL-PRESSURE (PM)

One aim of the intracranial pressure measurement is observing constantly patients with intracranial space-occupying factors and therefore to act diagnosticly and therapeutically correct at the right time. Through the continual registration of the intracranial pressure amplitude in relation to the medium intracranial pressure it is earlier possible to forecast intracranial pressure rise and to deal with this than with just the simple measurements of medium intracranial pressure. With 40 neurosurgical patients such examinations were undertaken after implantation of a ventricle catheter. The value of this method was proven during the continual observation of the patient.
