SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING CSF FLOW AND MANAGING INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE

A CSF management method and/or apparatus is used with a patient forms a CSF circuit having at least one pump and catheter. The CSF circuit is configured to control the flow of CSF in the patient's body. The method then flows, using the pump and the catheter, the patient's CSF at a given fl...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A CSF management method and/or apparatus is used with a patient forms a CSF circuit having at least one pump and catheter. The CSF circuit is configured to control the flow of CSF in the patient's body. The method then flows, using the pump and the catheter, the patient's CSF at a given flow rate through the CSF circuit, and monitors, using a pressure sensor, the intracranial pressure in the craniospinal compartment of the patient when flowing CSF through the CSF circuit. For safety purposes, the method controls the given flow rate of the CSF in the CSF circuit as a function of the monitored intracranial pressure in the craniospinal compartment.
