Intracranial volume adapter for cerebral blood flow

摘要

A method for affecting the cerebral perfusion of a patient by adjusting the volume of a volume adapter introduced into the patient's ventricle, the method comprising identifying timing of cerebral blood inflow and / or outflow in the patient's cardiac activity. Adjusting the volume of the volume adapter with the identified timing of the cerebral blood flow such that the volume of the volume adapter is sufficient to regulate the intracranial pressure in the ventricle. And increasing the flow rate of the cerebral blood flow. In some exemplary embodiments of the invention, the inflation duration of the volume adapter is short compared to the cardiac cycle.
