چکیده
INTRODUCTION Chronic hypertension may be the single most important modifiable risk factor for ischemic stroke (19). Antihypertensive therapy has been proven to reduce the risk of stroke in prospective, randomized controlled studies (7). Hypertension is common in patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke (4), but its treatment is controversial (9). In contrast to chronic hypertension, there is little clinical trial data to guide decisions regarding anti-hypertensive therapy in acute ischemic stroke. Furthermore, there are potential conflicting mechanisms by which patient outcome could be worsened. Reduction of mean arterial pressure can reduce blood flow to already ischemic regions and result in further ischemic injury. On the other hand, hypertension can increase the risk of cerebral edema or hemorrhage, particularly in patients who have received thrombolytic therapy. In this lecture, we will review the data concerning these two conflicting mechanisms and discuss current guidelines for the treatment of hypertension in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Background & Aim: Preeclampsia is the major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Transcranial Doppler(TCD) as a noninvasive procedure is used to assess hemodynamic changes in middle cerebral artery(MCA). Knowing the influence of normal pregnancy and preeclampsia on brain hemodynamics is essential for proper management of anesthesia, labor and vasoactive drug usage in the...
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...
متن کاملCerebral Hemodynamics through Intracranial Pressure
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) continues to be a major problem worldwide. Today, intensive care of patients with TBI is mainly focused on preventing and treating secondary brain injuries. High pressure inside the intracranial cavity has been found to be an important feature of disturbed cerebral dynamics and secondary injuries. Thus, invasive measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP) is today a ...

PROBLEMS OF NEUROSURGERY NAMED AFTER N.N. BURDENKO 5, 2015 One of the key aspects of any effective brain injury treatment is to maintain the optimal levels of cerebral perfusion and oxygenation [1, 2]. There are different ways to define of this optimum, including simultaneous use of modern techniques of assessment of cerebral macroand microcirculation (for example, using Doppler sonography or l...
متن کاملCerebral autoregulation in the microvasculature measured with near-infrared spectroscopy.
Cerebral autoregulation (CA) is the mechanism that allows the brain to maintain a stable blood flow despite changes in blood pressure. Dynamic CA can be quantified based on continuous measurements of systemic mean arterial pressure (MAP) and global cerebral blood flow. Here, we show that dynamic CA can be quantified also from local measurements that are sensitive to the microvasculature. We use...
متن کاملCerebral Autoregulation Assessment using Electroencephalograms
This paper presents the possibility of using Electroencephalograms (EEG) signals of an individual for quantitative interpretation of Cerebral Autoregulation (CA). EEG data was recorded during arm cuff inflation to induce dynamic changes in arterial blood pressure and then, Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF) was estimated from EEG using canonical hemodynamic response function (HRF). The assessment of CA ...
