Abstract
Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) is employed to reduce blood pressure in cerebrovascular surgery (Rudehill 1979). Its use has also been suggested for reducing vasospasm (Allen, 1976, Hirsh, 1980). Despite data indicating that SNP influences cerebral blood flow, there is little information on its influence on cerebral blood volume (CBV). The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of SNP on CBV under normal conditions and in the presence of raised intracranial pressure (ICP).
