Point-of-care transcranial Doppler by intensivists
In the unconscious patient, there is a diagnostic void between the neurologic physical exam, and more invasive, costly and potentially harmful investigations. Transcranial color-coded sonography and two-dimensional transcranial Doppler imaging of the brain have the potential to be a middle ground to bridge this gap for certain diagnoses. With the increasing availability of point-of-care ultraso...
متن کاملRole of transcranial Doppler in neurocritical care.
Transcranial Doppler has several practical applications in neurocritical care. It has its main application in the diagnosis and monitoring of vasospasm in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. In addition, it holds promise for the detection of critical elevations of intracranial pressure. Its ability to measure CO2 reactivity and autoregulation may ultimately allow intensivists to optimize cer...
متن کاملUse of Transcranial Doppler in Intensive Care Unit
Use of transcranial Doppler has undergone much development since its introduction in 1982, making the technique suitable for general use in intensive care units. The main application in intensive care units is to assess intracranial pressure, confirm the lack of cerebral circulation in brain death, detect vasospasm in subarachnoid haemorrhage, and monitor the blood flow parameters during thromb...
متن کاملTranscranial Doppler: an introduction for primary care physicians.
Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a diagnostic tool that can be used at bedside to assess the cerebral vasculature noninvasively. It is inexpensive, safe, and reliable when compared with other techniques. It can be repeated multiple times and can be used for continuous monitoring if needed. Screening of children with sickle cell disease to assess and prevent ischemic strokes and monitoring for vaso...
متن کاملTranscranial Doppler and anesthetics.
Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is widely used to investigate the effects of anesthetic drugs on cerebral blood flow. Its repeatability and non-invasivity makes it an ideal, first choice method. Anesthesia providers are required to be conscious of the cerebral hemodynamic effects of drugs given in their practice, especially in neurosurgery and in subjects with impaired brain functions. The purpose o...
