Table 2.

Changes in model output parameters as ICP rises from baseline to 30 mmHg under four conditions

ROUT RVEN RBF RBBB
Total brain volume (ml)  + 16  − 62  + 94  + 94
Ventricular volume (ml)  + 20  + 133  − 25  − 25
Subarachnoid space volume (ml)  + 10  − 25  − 24  − 24
Cerebral blood volume (ml)  − 41  − 41  − 40  − 40
CBF (ml100gr-1 min-1)  − 26  − 26  − 26  − 26

The Table describes the output parameters under four input conditions: increased resistance to CSF absorption, increased resistance to ventricular CSF flow, increased resistance to bulk flow of ISF, and breakdown of the BBB. ROUT: resistance to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) outflow; RVEN: resistance to CSF flow in the ventricular system; RBF: resistance to bulk flow of cerebral interstitial fluid; RBBB: resistance to flow of fluid across the blood–brain barrier; CBF: cerebral blood flow
