A system and method for recognizing the locations of the three ICP sub-peaks present in Intracranial Pressure (ICP) pulses and then calculating pulse metrics automatically and continuously. These metrics allow a comprehensive quantitative characterization of ICP pulse morphology including pulse amplitude, time intervals among sub-peaks, curvature, slope, and decay time constants over a course of time. One embodiment of the system provides real time monitoring and forecasting of intracranial and cerebrovascular pathophysiological changes with beat-by-beat pulse detection, pulse clustering, non-artifactual pulse recognition, peak detection and optimal peak designation processes. |
