The brain depends on a continuous flow of blood to provide it with oxygen and glucose
needed to maintain normal function and structural integrity, thus cerebral blood flow is …

For optimal therapy of patients with brain injury, a thorough knowledge of the underlying
cerebral blood flow (CBF) physiology is essential. This chapter reviews the relationship …

For an organ measuring roughly 2% of the total body weight, the brain needs an average of
50 mL blood for every 100 g of brain tissue per minute, accounting for 15% of the total …

This volume covers the most important aspects of cerebral blood flow (CBF) from bench to
bedside. It first defines the basic physiology of CBF, those qualities that make it unique or …

This article addresses the rationale for the clinical measurement of cerebral blood flow
(CBF) in the neurosurgical intensive care unit (ICU). The techniques that are currently …

Current neurocritical care management strategies are focused on the prevention and
limitation of secondary brain injury where neuronal insult continues to evolve during the …

Inadequate cerebral blood flow (CBF) after head injury is an important cause of secondary
ischaemic damage. Rapid identification of episodes of hypo-or hyperperfusion would allow …

Cerebral ischaemia (and ultimately infarction) occurs when cerebral blood flow cannot meet
the metabolic demands of brain tissue. Following trauma, hypotension, hypoxia and raised …

Regulation of the cerebral circulation relies on the complex interplay between
cardiovascular, respiratory, and neural physiology. In health, these physiologic systems act …

Background: Reduction of cerebral blood flow plays a crucial role in causing posttraumatic
cerebral ischemia. However, the methodologic adequacy of studies from which currently …
