Measurement of fontanelle pressure (Part I). A new instrument for non-invasive measurement of intracranial pressure via the anterior fontanelle.
Intracranial pressure (ICP) is one of the most important parameters for evaluating intracranial conditons. The skulls of newborns and infants, unlike the tightly sutured skull of adults, provide non-invasive access for measurement of ICPs via the anterior fontanelle. A new transducer has been developed which is convenient for non-invasive, continuous measurement of intracranial pressure through...
متن کاملPlasma colloid osmotic pressure in healthy infants
BACKGROUND The plasma colloid osmotic pressure (COP) plays a major role in transcapillary fluid balance. There is no information on plasma COP of healthy infants beyond the first post-natal week. The normal COP in healthy adult subjects (25 mmHg) is currently also applied as a reference value for healthy infants. This study was designed to test whether plasma COP values in healthy infants are t...
متن کاملAnterior fontanelle pressure responses to tracheal intubation in the awake and anaesthetized infant.
In order to define the changes in intracranial pressure which occur during tracheal intubation in young infants, a Ladd transducer was used to monitor anterior fontanelle pressure (AFP) non-invasively in awake (group 1, n = 14) and anaesthetized (group 2, n = 10) infants during intubation of the trachea. Heart rate and systolic arterial pressure were also recorded. In quiet, undisturbed infants...

متن کاملBulging fontanelle in febrile infants: lumbar puncture is mandatory.
We read with interest the study by Shacham et al.1 Out of 153 children with fever and bulging fontanelle, only one child had bacterial meningitis. However, we disagree with their suggestion of withholding lumbar puncture in this group of children. In their cohort, 41 out of 153 children had aseptic meningitis; however, cerebrospinal fl uid (CSF) viral cultures and PCR studies were only done in ...
