The relation between intracrainal pressure, mean arterial pressure and cerebral blood flow in patients with severe head injury. 1975

W Gobiet, and W Grote, and W J Bock

In patients with severe head injuries ICP, MAP and CBF were measured continuously. In most patients there was a positive vasopressor response to increasing ICP, but the ICP/MAP ratio varied considerably in individual cases. CBF was diminished either by increasing ICP or by decreasing MAP. This effect was more marked with ICP above 40 mm Hg or MAP below 110 mm Hg. In terminal stages there was often a negative MAP/ICP ratio accompanied by massive cerebral hyperaemia. Key words: Severe head injury--intracranial pressure--mean arterial pressure--cerebral blood flow--cerebral perfusion pressure--critical limit of ICP and CBF. BACKGROUND ICP equals intracranial pressure (mm Hg); CBF, Flow equals cerebral blood flow (ml/min); MAP equals mean arterial pressure (mm Hg); CPP equals cerebral perfusion pressure (mm Hg) (difference between MAP and ICP); BP equals blood pressure.

D001929 Brain Edema Increased intracellular or extracellular fluid in brain tissue. Cytotoxic brain edema (swelling due to increased intracellular fluid) is indicative of a disturbance in cell metabolism, and is commonly associated with hypoxic or ischemic injuries (see HYPOXIA, BRAIN). An increase in extracellular fluid may be caused by increased brain capillary permeability (vasogenic edema), an osmotic gradient, local blockages in interstitial fluid pathways, or by obstruction of CSF flow (e.g., obstructive HYDROCEPHALUS).

D001930 Brain Injuries Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.
