    Continuous cerebral compliance monitoring in severe head injury: its relationship with intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure

    Background. Cerebral compliance expresses the capability to buffer an intracranial volume increase while avoiding a rise in intracranial pressure (ICP). The autoregulatory response to Cerebral Perfusion Pressure ...

    Multi-Centre Assessment of the Spiegelberg Compliance Monitor: Interim Results

    Analyses of a multi-centre database of 71 patients at risk of raised ICP showed that in head injured patients (n = 19) and tumour patients (n = 13) clear inverse relationships of ICP vs compliance exist. SAH p...

    Multi-Centre Assessment of the Spiegelberg Compliance Monitor: Preliminary Results

    Acute brain injury states (eg. head injury, subarachnoid haemorrhage) show clear inverse relationships of ICP vs compliance, with ICP instability at times of lower compliance states. Variance in compliance val...

    Secondary Rise of Intracranial Pressure Following Severe Head Injury

    Intracranial pressure is frequently increased, following severe head injury. Usually intracranial hypertension is maximal one to three days following trauma [5]. Sometimes, however, severely injured patients d...
