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 کاملAccuracy of non - invasive intracranial pressure measurement
Non-invasive measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP) reduces the complications and cost for both patient and health care systems. Improvement of non-invasive methods has led to development of systems for reproducing continuous, real-time non-invasive ICP signals. So far, non-invasive methods have been tailored for the patients with head trauma. We have used Schmidt’s auto-adaptive method to ...
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 کاملNon-invasive Technologies for Intracranial Pressure/volume Measurement
The paper shows that innovative technologies for noninvasive monitoring of the cerebral blood flow autoregulation, cerebral blood flow pulse and slow waves also for the registration of the reactions to the neurodiagnostic tests can be developed on the basis of the precise measurement of brain parenchyma acoustic characteristics. The innovative technological equipment for such measurement has be...
متن کاملNon-invasive measurement of intracranial pressure in the newborn and the infant: the Rotterdam teletransducer.
Knowledge of intracranial pressure may be important in many clinical situations in neonates and young infants. The best way to obtain this information would be a non-traumatic procedure. In order to test the reliability of a new fontanometer, the Rotterdam teletransducer, 25 simultaneous measurements of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure and anterior fontanelle pressure (AFP) were performed. Me...
