The Analogy between CSF Pulse Pressure and Volume-Pressure Response

  • Conference paper
Intracranial Pressure IV

Abstract

The voIume-pressure (V/P) test is widely used to measure intracranial elastance. However, the test has some disadvantages: it increases the infection hazard, may provoke high intracranial pressure (ICP) waves, provides only momentary information and cannot be used in epidural pressure recordings. Another major problem is the varaibility of the volume-pressure response (VPR) due to errors related to the injected volume, spontaneous ICP variations and rapid spatial compensatory mechanisms.
