Find the normal effect on height of the fluid in spinal tap


"Sometimes it is necessary to determine whether an accident victim has suffered a crushed vertebra that is blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the spinal column. In other cases, a physician may suspect that a tumor or other growth is blocking the spinal column and inhibiting the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Such conditions can be investigated by means of the Queckensted test. In this procedure, the veins in the patient's neck are compressed, to make the blood pressure rise in the brain. The increase in pressure in the blood vessel is transmitted to the cerebrospinal fuid. What should be the normal effect on the height of the fluid in the spinal tap?
