Abstract
During recent years various groups (3, 4, 6) have studied the possibility of direct evaluation of intracranial tightness by analyzing the height of the ICP pulse amplitude (Amp) without further invasive procedures. The mathematical model (4, 6) underlying this type of assessment requires either the elastance (E) or the cerebral pulse volume (ΔV) to be constant. As recent reports have shown (3, 4, 6), however, these a priori conditions are only partly fulfilled, implying that a general quantitative relationship between Amp and E cannot be firmly established. Similar results were obtained by a separate group (8) who performed an analysis of the ICP modulations.
