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 کاملMethods of measuring intracranial pressure via the fontanelle without puncture.
It is suggested that non-invasive techniques for measuring intracranial pressure should be suitable for use in the unsedated infant and should be capable of measuring pressure continuously. Methods described by other authors are reviewed. After investigation of 18 patients the technique relying upon the pulsation of the fontanelle described by Purin was rejected as being difficult to perform an...
متن کاملThe measurement of intracranial pressure.
The measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP) as an aid in the assessment of certain neurosurgical patients is now widely accepted, following the initial descriptions of the technique (Guillaume and Janny, 1951; Lundberg, 1960). An understanding of the dynamics of ICP changes is important for many anaesthetists, not only those who are working in specialized neurosurgical units, but also those ...
متن کاملSome observations on the closure of the anterior fontanelle.
Early observers (Elsasser, 1843; Friedleben, 1860; Roger, 1859) have claimed that the dimensions of the anterior fontanelle of the human skull increase from the time of birth until about the age of 9 months, and that it is, as a rule, closed at the age of 18 months. Scammon (1923), reviewing this literature, challenged these observations on the grounds that the material studied involved Europea...
متن کاملInvestigation of photoplethysmographs from the anterior fontanelle of neonates.
Photoplethysmography (PPG) signals have been investigated at a new anatomical site, the anterior fontanelle (ANTF), on the hypothesis that blood supply at this location is preferentially preserved during cases of poor peripheral circulation which might cause the commercial pulse oximeters to fail to estimate accurately arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO2). Two custom built reflectance PPG se...
