Intracranial pressure and compliance in hypoxic ischemic brain injury patients after cardiac arrest

In hypoxic ischemic brain injury (HIBI), increased intracranial pressure (ICP) can ensue from cerebral edema stemming from cytotoxic and vasogenic mechanisms. Downstream sequelae of restricted cerebral blood flow lead to neurologic braindeath. There is limited data characterizing the temporal trends...

In hypoxic ischemic brain injury (HIBI), increased intracranial pressure (ICP) can ensue from cerebral edema stemming from cytotoxic and vasogenic mechanisms. Downstream sequelae of restricted cerebral blood flow lead to neurologic braindeath. There is limited data characterizing the temporal trends and patterns of ICP and compliance in human HIBI patients. Ausführliche Beschreibung
