DEVICE, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING PRESSURE IN BODY CAVITIES

摘要

The present invention relates to a system and method for digital sampling, quantitative analysis and presentation of pressures in a body cavity. The invention also relates to a portable apparatus for monitoring, sampling and storing pressure and a software for analysis of pressures. The invention includes an algorithm for analysis and presentations of pressures and a software for performing the analysis. The computer software may be integrated in the portable apparatus and in a variety of systems. The software provides different quantitative presentations of pressure curves as a matrix of numbers of intracranial pressure elevations of different levels and durations and a matrix of numbers of single pulse pressure waves with preselected characteristics. The parameters may be standardised according to recording time and heart rate variabiity. The data may be presented indifferent ways, both on-line and off-line after pressure monitoring.
