A novel technique to record the pressures within the skull is described. The minimally invasive method uses a fibre-optic pressure sensing system to accurately measure intracranial pressure (ICP) in anaesthetized rats without causing significant brain trauma. The technique may be used in a wide range of experimental models.

Non-restraining EEG radiotelemetry is a valuable methodological approach to record in vivo long-term electroencephalograms from freely moving rodents. This detailed protocol describes stereotaxic epidural and deep intracerebral electrode placement in different brain regions in order to obtain reliable recordings of CNS rhythmicity and CNS related behavioral stages.

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery. Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...

Size exclusion chromatography hyphenated with inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a powerful tool to measure changes in the abundance of metalloproteins directly from biological samples. Here we describe a set of metalloprotein standards used to estimate molecular mass and the amount of metal associated with unknown proteins.

Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS): Interferences
0 Views •
2024
Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP–MS) is a highly selective and sensitive technique for accurate elemental analysis. Though the analysis of ICP–MS mass spectra is comparatively straightforward, it is affected by spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic interferences. Spectroscopic interferences arise when the plasma contains ionic species with an m/z value the same as the analyte ion. Spectroscopic interference can be categorized as isobaric, polyatomic ions, and refractory oxide ion...
FAQs
The sensor functions as a pressure-to-signal interface. Changes in pressure within the skull are transmitted to the pressure-sensitive device at the epidural location, and the device converts those changes into an electronic signal. Clinicians can then view and record the measurements continuously, creating an ongoing record rather than an isolated pressure reading.
Placement between the inner skull and dura mater is central to the method's measurement pathway. This epidural position places the pressure-sensitive sensor where intracranial pressure changes can be transmitted to it. The resulting signal is displayed and recorded electronically, linking the physical pressure change to information clinicians can follow during care.
Continuous monitoring matters because a dangerous pressure elevation may threaten brain perfusion and cause secondary neurological injury. Repeated electronic measurements allow clinicians to recognize pressure changes while the patient is being assessed and treated. The readings therefore support evaluation of whether an intervention is needed and whether treatment is producing the intended response.
The method requires positioning a small pressure-sensitive sensor between the inner skull and dura mater. Once positioned, pressure changes are transmitted to the device, which converts them into an electronic signal for display and recording. The clinical workflow therefore connects sensor placement with continuous measurement and documented results.
Its use is relevant when increased intracranial pressure is a concern, including traumatic brain injury, cerebral edema, hydrocephalus, and other conditions that raise pressure inside the skull. In these settings, monitoring supplies measurements that help assess the pressure problem and support decisions about management and care.
Measurements provide more than a numerical record: they help clinicians guide interventions, evaluate treatment response, and identify pressure elevations that may compromise brain perfusion. Their value lies in connecting ongoing pressure information with clinical management, particularly when preventing secondary neurological injury is an important goal.
