We prospectively recorded CSF opening pressure in 242 adults who had a lumbar puncture with concomitant measurement of weight and height. The 95% reference interval for lumbar CSF opening pressure was 10 to 25 cm CSF. Body mass index had a small but clinically insignificant influence on CSF open...
Given the potentially devastating effects of intracranial infection associated with post-operative CSF leakage, it is important to employ technical approaches that may reduce the risk of this complication. These can be considered according to management of each anatomical layer from the skin of the sca...
Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are tetrameric ligand-gated ion channels that open their pores in response to binding of the agonist glutamate1,2,3. An ionic current through a single iGluR channel shows up to four discrete conductance levels (O1–O4)4,5,6. Higher conductance levels h...
0.75 s: peak inspiratory pressure. 1.18- 1.48 kPa ( 12- 15 cm water): and peak end expiratory pressure. 0 kPa. One of the umbilical arteries. the umbilical vein. and the superior vena cava via the jugular vein were catheterized for blood sampling and for giving drugs. Heart rate, mean...
Background Measurement of CSF opening pressure (CSFOP) is valuable and much used in the investigation of several neurological conditions. However, there are different opinions regarding reference values and influence of age, gender and body mass index (BMI). We have, in a previous study, noted ...

The lumbar puncture and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) opening pressure (OP) in children remains an essential diagnostic test for children with suspected elevated intracranial pressure. Recent prospective data have revised the normative CSF OP values and described how clinical variables such as age, depth ...
No significant association between closing pressure, or amount of CSF removed, and time to resolution of papilledema in pediatric PTCS was detected. The diagnostic and therapeutic purposes of either measuring the closing pressure or maximizing the volume of CSF removed were not evident in these ...
