Cerebral autoregulation: an in vitro study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cerebral autoregulation can be duplicated in vitro using the large middle cerebral arteries from a calf. The limits of autoregulation were between 50 and 150 mm Hg. Excessively high pressures may lead to the appearance of the "sausage- or bead-string" response followed by forced dilation. These results suggest the existence of an intrinsic myogenic mechanism responsive to intraluminal pressure changes.

Production of 20-HETE and its role in autoregulation of cerebral blood flow.
In the brain, pressure-induced myogenic constriction of cerebral arteriolar muscle contributes to autoregulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF). This study examined the role of 20-HETE in autoregulation of CBF in anesthetized rats. The expression of P-450 4A protein and mRNA was localized in isolated cerebral arteriolar muscle of rat by immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization. The results o...
متن کاملContinuous monitoring of cerebrovascular autoregulation: a validation study.
BACKGROUND Continuous monitoring of dynamic cerebral autoregulation, using a moving correlation index of cerebral perfusion pressure and mean middle cerebral artery flow velocity, may be useful in patients with severe traumatic brain injury to guide treatment, and has been shown to be of prognostic value. OBJECTIVE To compare an index of dynamic cerebral autoregulation (Mx) with an index of s...
متن کاملGraded hypercapnia and cerebral autoregulation during sevoflurane or propofol anesthesia.
BACKGROUND Hypercapnia abolishes cerebral autoregulation, but little is known about the interaction between hypercapnia and autoregulation during general anesthesia. With normocapnia, sevoflurane (up to 1.5 minimum alveolar concentration) and propofol do not impair cerebral autoregulation. This study aimed to document the level of hypercapnia required to impair cerebral autoregulation during pr...
متن کاملCerebral Autoregulation Real-Time Monitoring
Cerebral autoregulation is a mechanism which maintains constant cerebral blood flow (CBF) despite changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP). Assessing whether this mechanism is intact or impaired and determining its boundaries is important in many clinical settings, where primary or secondary injuries to the brain may occur. Herein we describe the development of a new ultrasound tagged near infra...
