Relationship between cerebrospinal fluid pressure changes and cerebral blood flow.

چکیده
This study of the effects of certain drugs, gas mixtures, and other stimuli on the cerebrospinal fluid pressure corroborates previous conclusions that alterations in cerebral blood flow are reflected by similar changes in the cerebrospinal fluid pressure in the same direction. The hypothesis is advanced that the elevations and depressions in cerebrospinal fluid pressure resulting from these agents are due to the respective increased and decreased volume of the vascular structures of the brain, expanding within its rigid container.

Sympathetic control of cerebral blood flow in dogs.
The effect of sympathetic stimulation on cerebral blood flow was investigated in dogs anesthetized with chloralose. A preparation has been developed for the moment-to-moment measurement of cerebral venous outflow with an electromagnetic flow transducer. The brain's arterial supply was left undisturbed. The sympathetic innervation of the cerebral vessels was stimulated at the stellate ganglion (...
متن کاملChanges in cerebral artery blood flow velocity after intermittent cerebrospinal fluid drainage.
Doppler ultrasound was used to measure blood flow velocity in the anterior cerebral artery of six premature infants with posthaemorrhagic hydrocephalus, before and after intermittent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage, on 23 occasions. There was a significant increase in mean blood flow velocity after the drainage procedures (+5.6 cm/s, 95% confidence interval +2.9 to +8.3 cm/s), which was acco...
متن کاملEffect of cerebrospinal fluid removal on cerebral blood flow and metabolism in the baboon: influence of tyrosine infusion and cerebral embolism on cerebrospinal fluid pressure autoregulation.
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) and metabolism were measured before and after withdrawal of 5 to 6 ml of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in 17 baboons. The measurements were made before and after infusion of tyrosine, the precursor amino acid of the putative neurotransmitters, dopamine and norepinephrine, in the brain. The same observations were made in another experimental group, i.e., before and after ac...
متن کاملIs there a direct link between cerebrovascular activity and cerebrospinal fluid pressure-volume compensation?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral blood flow is coupled to brain metabolism by means of active modulation of cerebrovascular resistance. This homeostatic vasogenic activity is reflected in slow waves of cerebral blood flow velocities (FV) which can also be detected in intracranial pressure (ICP). However, effects of increased ICP on the modulation of cerebral blood flow are still poorly understoo...
متن کاملInteraction among autoregulation, CO2 reactivity, and intracranial pressure: a mathematical model.
The relationships among cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume, intracranial pressure (ICP), and the action of cerebrovascular regulatory mechanisms (autoregulation and CO2 reactivity) were investigated by means of a mathematical model. The model incorporates the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation, the intracranial pressure-volume relationship, and cerebral hemodynamics. The latter is ba...
