A computer software for frequential analysis of slow intracranial pressure waves.

A microcomputer program to analyse ICP signal in the frequential domain is described. It allows the detection and quantification of especially slow pressure waves (A, B, and C). 212 ICP data recordings were analysed with our software, and gave pertinent frequential informations. The status report and lessons learned are discussed.
