Abstract:
In experimental studies on cats the pressure and volume loadings corresponding to the physiological situations were used. The following tests were applied: central venous pressure increase, postural changes and increase of CO2 percentage in inspired gas mixture. It was found that the central venous pressure increase test is useful in the evaluation of CSF outflow routes, the postural change test examines the intracranial compensation and the elevation of CO2 level in inspired air tests the intracranial volume reserve.
