Correlation of pulsatility index with intracranial pressure in traumatic brain injury.
AIM In traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients, it is desired to monitor the intracranial pressure (ICP) to assess the cerebral haemodynamics and guide the therapy. The study was designed to see if the pulsatility index (PI) measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) predicts information about ICP values. MATERIAL AND METHODS In 52 TBI patients with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score < ...
متن کاملHomocysteine and pulsatility index of cerebral arteries.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A pulsatility index (PI) represents vascular resistance distal to an examined artery. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate an association between plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) and PIs of the cerebral arteries in patients with ischemic stroke. METHODS Consecutive patients with ischemic stroke referred to a neurovascular ultrasound laboratory were evaluated...
متن کاملThe pulsatility curve-the relationship between mean intracranial pressure and pulsation amplitude.
The amplitude of cardiac-related pulsations in intracranial pressure has recently been suggested as useful for selecting patients for shunt surgery in hydrocephalus. To better understand how shunting affects these pulsations, we aim to model the relationship between mean pressure and pulsation amplitude in a wide range, including low pressures typically found after shunt surgery. Twenty-five pa...
متن کاملLacunar Infarction in Type 2 Diabetes Is Associated with an Elevated Intracranial Arterial Pulsatility Index
PURPOSE The arterial pulsatility index (PI) is measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) and is postulated to reflect the vascular resistance distal to the artery being examined. An increased PI of the intracranial artery is often reported with diabetes mellitus (DM), old age, hypertension, intracranial hypertension, vascular dementia, and small artery disease. Microvascular compli...
متن کاملMean arterial pressure and intracranial pressure.
To the Editor:—We read with great interest the article by Petersen et al., which demonstrated the expected clinical response to the three anesthetic agents studied. An increase in arterial pressure may result in an increase in the cerebral perfusion pressure and reduce reflex cerebral vasodilatation, potentially resulting in reduced intracranial pressure. We note that the mean arterial pressure...
