Objective: To study the early
diagnosis of acute intracranial pressure hypertension with non-invasive
measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP) in serious disease newborn and
infant.
Methods: 206 cases newborn and
infant with serious disease, anterior fontanelle larger 1.0 cm x 1.0 cm,
were measured for 5---148 hours with non-invasive ICP monitor of SP 2000
made by U.S.A. and compared with 188 cases in control.
Results: There were 140 cases
ICP hypertension in 206 cases newborn and infant with serious disease, and
the positive incidence was 67.96% (140/206). The positive incidence of
mild-graded ICP hypertension (l1---20 rnmHg) was 68.57% (96/140), of
middle-graded ICP hypertension (21---40 mmHg) was 18.57%(26/140), of
gave-graded ICP hypertension (>40 rrunHg) was 12.85% (18/140).
Conclusions: (1) The non-invasive
measurement of ICP is a useful examining method, and the positive rate of
ICP hypertension is higher for serious disease newborn and infant with ICP
monitor. (2) Non-invasive ICP monitor can make measured analysis and
grading for serious disease newborn and infant with ICR hypertension, and
can judge prognosis and instructive treatment by this results (3)
Non-invasive ICP monitor can be used in ICP hypertension newborn end infant
for it’s continuine and non-invasive.
