The study introduces a method to simulate continuously an intracranial pressure (ICP) wave form. In a system analysis approach the intracranial compartment was viewed as a black box with arterial blood pressure (ABP) as an input signal and ICP as an output. A weight function was used to transform the ABP curve into the ICP curve. The output ICP waveform was generated using a weight function derived from the transcranial Doppler blood flow velocity (FV) and ABP curves. In order to establish the relationship between TCD characteristics and weight functions simultaneous recordings of FV, ABP, and ICP curves of a defined group of patients were used. A linear function between the TCD characteristics and the weight functions was obtained by calculating a series of multiple regression analyses. Given examples demonstrate the procedure's capabilities in predicting the mean ICP, the pulse and respiratory waveform modulations, and the trends of ICP changes.
