Cerebrovascular Responses to Shock During Resuscitation

  • Chapter
Anesthesia and the Central Nervous System

Abstract

The effects of shock and resuscitation on the cerebral circulation have been incompletely characterized. Few clinical data are available because of the ethical and methodologic problems involved in acute measurements of cerebral blood flow (CBF), the cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen (CMRO2), and intracranial pressure (ICP) in unstable humans. However, animal data define the effects of hemorrhagic hypotension, of endotoxic shock, of fluid resuscitation after shock, and of isovolumic hemodilution. Considerable data are available regarding the effects of shock and resuscitation in animals with intracranial mass lesions and experimental head injury.
