Non-invasive intracranial pressure monitoring. A technique for reproducible fontanelle pressure measurements.
Anterior fontanelle pressure was measured in 14 infants. A technique is described for preforming reproducible measurements utilising the Rotterdam Teletransducer. One gradually increasing the dept of the transducer relative to the fontanelle a characteristic pressure depth curve is obtained. The importance of positioning the transducer according to the pressure depth curve is described.
