Abstract
Changes in heart rate, respiration, and electroencephalogram (EEG) during spontaneous increases in intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with intracranial lesions have been observed by other investigators [1, 2, 3, 4]. The clinical significance of these changes has not been established. The purpose of the present investigation was: 1. to evaluate the changes in heart rate, respiration and blood pressure during spontaneous fluctuations in ICP in head-injured patients, and 2. to determine their role in the initiation and termination of ICP waves.
This study was supported by the National Institutes of Health Research Grant NS0737705.
