Distortion of the Intracranial Pressure Waveform by Extraventricular Drainage System 170 177 IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (TBME)
The EVD-based pressure measurement occurs at the distal end of fluid filled elastic tubing that may itself act as a filter and distort the waveform. While the frequency response of arterial catheter systems has been studied extensively to understand their transfer function characteristics for detailed waveform analysis of the arterial blood pressure wavelet, the degree to which the EVD and associated drainage system distort the ICP waveform has not been investigated systematically, yet. read more
