Abstract
At least three matters have to be made clear before attempts can be made to design a standard, reliable test for the determination of cerebrospinal elastance in patients:
-
the range of ICP in which the pressure-volume (P-V) relation can be approximated by the exponential function;
-
the meaning and stability of the constant term P0 in the P-V (or elastance-pressure) formula;
-
the dependence of results on the nature of the added volume-time function (bolus injection, constant flow or pressure infusion etc.) — that is the static and dynamic properties of the P-V relation.
