Continuous cerebral blood flow monitors are being used in critically ill neuroscience patients
to assess blood flow in vulnerable regions of the brain and to evaluate the effects of …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Although many critically ill patients suffer from neurological problems, their management
does not routinely require monitoring of cerebral circulation. Nevertheless, assessment of …

Brain is a unique organ of the body that receives highest amount of cardiac output and
totally depend on the blood supply for its survival and no reserve of blood flow making it …

Until recently, monitoring of cerebral blood flow and metabolism was an unattained goal.
Determination of cerebral blood flow was limited to intermittent measurements and …

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 …

Background Monitoring the cerebral blood flow (CBF) is crucial when caring for patients in
neurological intensive care units (NICU). Changes in CBF, either due to hypo-or …

Background. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) volume can be measured at bedside by color
duplex flowmetry of the extracranial cerebral arteries. In neurointensive care patients, we …
