Abstract

The complexity of the intracranial pressure (ICP) signal decreases with intracranial hypertension in children with acute brain injury as well as during infusion studies in adults with hydrocephalus. In this study we have analysed the pressure signal obtained in the lumbar subarachnoid space during infusion testing. The pulse amplitude rises when the ICP is increased by additional external volume. Our objective was to determine the relative influence of the pressure range and pulse amplitude on the loss of complexity observed during infusion-related intracranial hypertension.
