[A module of statistical analysis of the intracranial pressure: the S.A.I.C.P. system]

This paper describes an automatic system designed so as to provide a statistical analysis of I.C.P. (A.S.P.I.C. System). It functions on line at the patient's bedside, in connection with any electromanometer. It issues, after an acquirement period of 24 hours or less, three different informations: 1) the pressure class frequency distribution or histogram, 2) the modal pressure, that is to say the most frequent pressure, and 3) two standard deviations which measure the dispersion of the right and left part of the histogram. The meaning of those informations are reminded, according to anterior researchs, and some illustrations of A.S.P.I.C. System applications are presented.
