title: Classification of pulse waveform of cerebral spinal fluid during intracranial pressure monitoring.
abstract: Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) pulse waveform basing on 899 records was classified. Eleven types of CSF pulse waveform were further classified according to the harmonic wave relation and the configuration of the pulse waveform. The characteristic features of various types of CSF pulse waveform were considered to reflect certain intracranial pathophysiological conditions including cerebral compliance, cerebral vasomotor reactivity and intracranial elastance.
