Recent evidence suggests that patients' autoregulatory status following severe TBI may influence cerebral perfusion pressure management. The authors evaluated the utility of incorporating a recently upgraded parenchymal thermal diffusion probe for the measurement of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the neurointensive care unit for assessing cerebral autoregulation and vasoreactivity at bedside.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n The authors evaluated 20 patients with severe TBI admitted to San Francisco General Hospital who underwent advanced neuromonitoring. Patients had a parenchymal thermal diffusion probe placed for continuous bedside monitoring of local CBF (\n loc<\/jats:sub>\n CBF) in addition to the standard intracranial pressure and brain tissue oxygen tension (P\n bt<\/jats:sub>\n O\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n ) monitoring. The CBF probes were placed in the white matter using a separate cranial bolt. A pressure challenge, whereby mean arterial pressure (MAP) was increased by about 10 mm Hg, was performed in all patients to assess autoregulation. Cerebral CO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n vasoreactivity was assessed with a hyperventilation challenge. Local cerebral vascular resistance (\n loc<\/jats:sub>\n CVR) was calculated by dividing cerebral perfusion pressure by\n loc<\/jats:sub>\n CBF. Local cerebral vascular resistance normalized to baseline (\n loc<\/jats:sub>\n CVR\n normalized<\/jats:sub>\n ) was also calculated for the MAP and hyperventilation challenges.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n In all cases, bedside measurement of\n loc<\/jats:sub>\n CBF using a cranial bolt in patients with severe TBI resulted in correct placement in the white matter with a low rate of complications. Mean\n loc<\/jats:sub>\n CBF decreased substantially with hyperventilation challenge (\u22127 \u00b1 8 ml\/100 g\/min, p = 0.0002) and increased slightly with MAP challenge (1 \u00b1 7 ml\/100 g\/min, p = 0.17). Measurements of\n loc<\/jats:sub>\n CBF following MAP and hyperventilation challenges can be used to calculate\n loc<\/jats:sub>\n CVR. In 83% of cases,\n loc<\/jats:sub>\n CVR increased during a hyperventilation challenge (mean change +3.5 \u00b1 3.8 mm Hg\/ml\/100 g\/min, p = 0.0002), indicating preserved cerebral CO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n vasoreactivity. In contrast, we observed a more variable response of\n loc<\/jats:sub>\n CVR to MAP challenge, with increased\n loc<\/jats:sub>\n CVR in only 53% of cases during a MAP challenge (mean change \u22120.17 \u00b1 3.9 mm Hg\/ml\/100 g\/min, p = 0.64) indicating that in many cases autoregulation was impaired following severe TBI.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n \n Use of the Hemedex thermal diffusion probe appears to be a safe and feasible method that enables continuous monitoring of CBF at the bedside. Cerebral autoregulation and CO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n vasoreactivity can be assessed in patients with severe TBI using the CBF probe by calculating\n loc<\/jats:sub>\n CVR in response to MAP and hyperventilation challenges. Determining whether CVR increases or decreases with a MAP challenge (\n loc<\/jats:sub>\n CVR\n normalized<\/jats:sub>\n ) may be a simple provocative test to determine patients' autoregulatory status following severe TBI and helping to optimize CPP management.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2010.6.jns091360","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,8,13]],"date-time":"2010-08-13T09:45:20Z","timestamp":1281692720000},"page":"62-70","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":114,"title":["Incorporating a parenchymal thermal diffusion cerebral blood flow probe in bedside assessment of cerebral autoregulation and vasoreactivity in patients with severe traumatic brain injury"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"114","author":[{"given":"Guy","family":"Rosenthal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery and"},{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rene O.","family":"Sanchez-Mejia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicolas","family":"Phan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.
