Detecting tissue deterioration after brain injury: regional blood flow level versus capacity to raise blood flow
Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) is spatially and temporally adjusted to local energy needs. This coupling involves dilation of vessels both at the site of metabolite exchange and upstream of the activated region. Deficits in upstream blood supply limit the 'capacity to raise rCBF' in response to functional activation and therefore compromise brain function. We here demonstrate in rats that ...
متن کاملCerebral blood flow and autoregulation after pediatric traumatic brain injury.
Traumatic brain injury is a global health concern and is the leading cause of traumatic morbidity and mortality in children. Despite a lower overall mortality than in adult traumatic brain injury, the cost to society from the sequelae of pediatric traumatic brain injury is very high. Predictors of poor outcome after traumatic brain injury include altered systemic and cerebral physiology, includ...
متن کاملRegional Cortical Blood Flow
We conducted regional cortical blood flow studies using the xenon-133 clearance technique on 12 volunteers during the administration of 25% and 50% N2O and during baseline conditions (breathing room air or 100% O2). Global cortical blood flow was very highly significantly increased above baseline measures in all subjects by 50% N2O (mean increase 37% above 100% O2 condition). A smaller but stil...
متن کاملRegional Myocardial Blood Flow
Do oxygen-derived free radicals, generated at the time of reperfusion, lethally injure viable, previously ischemic myocardium, damage vascular endothelium, and impair recovery of postischemic contractile function? To address these issues, 23 anesthetized open-chest dogs underwent 2 hours of left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion followed by 4 hours of reperfusion. Immediately prior ...
متن کاملRegional Myocardial Blood Flow
nary artery disease has provided an intense stimulus for expansion of our present knowledge of the coronary circulation. In the experimental animal laboratory, the electromagnetic flowmeter has proved to be an excellent tool by which one can study dynamic aspects of the coronary circulation. A flowmeter is clearly unsuitable for human investigation; therefore, the search for a simple method of ...
