Abstract
A system for detecting a blood vessel rupture is disclosed. The system includes a sensor assembly including a plurality of sensors, each of which is configured to detect a pressure wave through CSF and to generate a pressure signal in response thereto. The system also includes a processing device coupled to the sensor assembly. The processing device configured to analyze the pressure signal to determine a blood vessel rupture.
Claims18
A system for detecting a blood vessel rupture, the system comprising:
- a sensor assembly configured to measure a pressure wave traveling through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) caused by a blood vessel rupture, the sensor assembly including:
- a substrate configured to be placed on a patient such that the substrate is positioned along a spinal canal;
- a plurality of sensors disposed on the substrate, each sensor of the plurality of sensors configured to detect the pressure wave through the CSF and to generate a pressure signal in response thereto;
- and
- a processing device coupled to the sensor assembly, the processing device configured to determine a blood vessel rupture has occurred based on a comparison of the pressure signal to a plurality of signal waveforms corresponding to blood vessel ruptures.

A method for detecting a blood vessel rupture, the method comprising:
- placing a substrate of a sensor assembly on a patient such that the substrate is positioned along a spinal canal of a patient, the sensor assembly including a plurality of sensors disposed on the substrate;
- measuring, using the sensor assembly, a pressure wave traveling through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) caused by a blood vessel rupture;
- generating a pressure signal in response to the measured pressure wave;
- and
- determining at a processing device coupled to the sensor assembly a blood vessel rupture has occurred based on a comparison of the pressure signal to a plurality of signal waveforms corresponding to blood vessel ruptures.
