title: [Effect of intravenous infusion of nimodipine on intracranial pressure. Experimental study of ICP measurement conducted in a rat model].
abstract: The effect of the intravenous, continuous nimodipine infusion on ICP in a rat was studied. 5 to 8 minutes after the beginning of infusion ICP started to increase, and at 30 minutes was 35-70% higher than initially, subsequently stabilizing at this level. After finishing the infusion, ICP returned to normal values within 30-45 minutes. The authors discuss possible clinical implications of ICP increase produced by nimodipine.
