A Method for Predicting PVI in Normal Patients

  • Conference paper
Intracranial Pressure IV

Abstract

The description of the Pressure-Volume Index (PVI) by Marmarou (3) provides a simple bolus technique for measuring neural axis pressure-volume relationships and characterizing CSF hydrodynamics. The present study was undertaken to define normal values in humans using these techniques.
