Cardiac arrest, mild therapeutic hypothermia, and unanticipated cerebral recovery.
OBJECTIVES Animal and human studies support mild therapeutic hypothermia as an effective means of preventing brain injury in comatose patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest. However, there is little clinical experience with predicting neurologic outcome in this patient population. We present 4 comatose patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest treated with mild hypothermia whose in-hospital ...
متن کاملXenon- and iodine-enhanced CT of diffuse cerebral circulatory arrest.
The role of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) was evaluated in three nonhuman primates with a severe cerebrovascular insult and resulting elevated intracranial pressure and diffuse circulatory arrest. In all three animals the brain vasculature did not opacify after the bolus intravenous injection of iodinated contrast media. In addition, the brain substance did not enhance although the...
متن کاملThromboendarterectomy and circulatory arrest.
Thromboendarterectomy remains a high-risk procedure. The use of circulatory arrest as a technique to allow pulmonary artery visualization is associated with cerebral and organ damage secondary to the ischaemic insult. Application of techniques learned from thoracic aortic stenting and minimal invasive valvular surgery may mean that circulatory arrest becomes an uncommon accompaniment to thrombo...
متن کاملCerebral spinal fluid lactic acid following circulatory arrest.
Cerebral Spinal Fluid Lactic Acid Following Circulatory Arrest • CSF lactic acid rises quickly and then gradually declines toward normal after severe cerebral ischemia in the dog. In animals in whom recovery can be postulated, the increase in lactic acid would appear to be transitory, and more severe insults produce higher levels. The increase in blood levels of lactic acid occurs more rapidly ...
متن کاملContinuous cerebral hemodynamic measurement during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
While survival of children with complex congenital heart defects has improved in recent years, roughly half suffer neurological deficits suspected to be related to cerebral ischemia. Here we report the first demonstration of optical diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) for continuous and non-invasive monitoring of cerebral microvascular blood flow during complex human neonatal or cardiac surg...
