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 …

An understanding of normal cerebral metabolism and of the response of metabolism to
pathological derangements is helpful in the management of the critically ill patient with …

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 …

Post-traumatic cerebral ischemia is associated with a poor prognosis. Optimization of
cerebral perfusion and blood flow thus plays a key role in contemporary head injury …

Conventional management of patients following acute brain injury includes a 'primary goal'of
maintenance of an adequate cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP)[1, 2]. This is the pressure …

Blood flow and neurological function There are surprisingly few studies in the literature that
correlate absolute CBF levels in real time with clinical brain function during cerebral …

This chapter will outline the importance of the role that cerebral blood flow (CBF) has in
predicting and ultimately mediating outcome following head trauma. Particular focus will be …

✓ Noninvasive studies of regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) were performed on 36 head-
injured patients in varying degrees of coma, using the intravenous xenon-133 method …

Following severe head injury, derangements of the cerebral vasculature and cerebral blood
flow (CBF) often occur, rendering the brain at risk of secondary ischemia. Therefore …

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 …
