He was first trained in physics and mathematics, and, because of his great interest in blood flow, he was the first to use to the manometer to measure arterial pressure, which he did as part of his doctoral thesis (Hopkins, 1991).
These findings emphasize the importance of CSF pressure management in patients with CM, and highlight the need for widened access to manometers to manage pressure safely in centers in Africa with the highest burden of disease.
There is good evidence that intravenous tubing sets assembled to spinal needles coupled with a meter measuring stick are an accurate alternative to manometers to measure CSF opening pressure [ 17]; however, in the absence of a manometer or pressure measurement, the optimal timing and volume of CSF removed during repeat LPs is unclear.
Unfortunately, most patients throughout the world do not have the baseline CSF pressure measured because of limited awareness of the importance of measuring CSF opening pressure [ 24] or lack of access to manometers for accurate measurement [ 15, 25].
In conclusion, our analysis supports the call for continued vigilance of ICP management during the window of high mortality shortly after diagnosis with HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis, including improved access to manometers to monitor CSF pressures and the use of therapeutic LPs to reduce CSF pressure during antifungal therapy.
The CRAG LFA result was used to prioritize on whom to use manometers to measure CSF opening pressure.
It is shown that a conventional arrangement involving a static pressure "tapping", consisting of an orifice in the duct wall connected via a tube to a manometer, can lead to the sound field introducing significant errors in the static pressure measurement.
This setting allows you to calibrate your CPAP pressure to a manometer.
The connection between the pressure transducer and the tracheal cuff was identical in the two study periods, with a three-way stopcock of which the third port was either connected to the mechanical device or closed and connected to the manometer every 4 h (Fig. 2).
