The effect of increasing degrees of spinal flexion on cerebrospinal fluid pressure

The effects of increasing degrees of flexion on cerebrospinal fluid pressure were investigated in 12 neurosurgical patients requiring lumbar subarachnoid drains. Cerebrospinal fluid pressure and central venous pressure were measured in three positions: fully flexed (‘chin on chest’), flexed at ninet...

Zusammenfassung:The effects of increasing degrees of flexion on cerebrospinal fluid pressure were investigated in 12 neurosurgical patients requiring lumbar subarachnoid drains. Cerebrospinal fluid pressure and central venous pressure were measured in three positions: fully flexed (‘chin on chest’), flexed at ninety degrees and straight. There was a significant increase in cerebrospinal fluid pressure on moving from the fully flexed to the flexed position (p
