Intracranial hypertension and cerebral hypoperfusion indices were formulated based on the number of hours with intracranial pressure more than 20 mm Hg and cerebral perfusion pressure less than 50 ...

A 49-year-old woman with traumatic brain injury after an automobile accident is found to have raised intracranial pressure, and hyperosmolar therapy is recommended. Hyperosmolar therapy with either ...

Brain swelling, or cerebral edema, is a medical emergency. Learn about the evidence-based treatments doctors use to reduce ...

Mean intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure from epochs following drug administration were compared with baseline values using Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance and Dunn test.

Limited data are available to guide the choice of a target for the systolic blood-pressure level when treating acute hypertensive response in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. We randomly ass ...

Intracranial hypertension (IH), a clinical condition typically seen in the intensive care unit, is caused by increased pressure surrounding the brain.

Watershed infarcts typically occur following reduced perfusion pressure, often secondary to cardiac events or severe bleeding. In those cases, they are usually bilateral.

This signifies the onset of decreasing cerebral perfusion pressure where the brain is starting to find it difficult to work with the supply of blood and the pressure at which it is supplied.

In this setting, the raised tissue pressure is caused by distension of the elastic cerebral structures and therefore reduces perfusion pressure in the blood vessels at the edge of the hemorrhage.

In the 40% of patients with LOC who failed to regain consciousness within one hour after SAH, a primary reduction of cerebral perfusion pressure caused by severe intracranial hypertension could be ...
