Neurosurgical intervention attempts to minimize secondary central nervous system injury after severe head injury through the evacuation of mass lesions with subsequent manipulation of cerebral perfusion pressure and intracranial pressure. The normal brain couples blood flow to metabolic demand throu

In the first study 6 patients with raised intracranial pressure due to brain oedema following head injury were given dihydroergotamine because of low perfusion pressure. The intracranial pressure fell simultaneously with the increase in arterial pressure. The intracranial pressure fell from 24 +/- 2
In order to measure the intracranial pressure (ICP) of 8 newborn with posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (group A) we used the noninvasive technique via the anterior fontanel (Ladd monitor). The ICP was monitored in two different head positions (30 degrees elevated, horizontal). The median measurements w
