Abstract |
We previously showed that the flow-ICP index (Fix), a moving correlation coefficient between intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV), had marginally greater prognostic value for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) than an index of cerebral autoregulation (mean index, Mx). The aim of this study was to further examine the clinical and physiological relevance of Fix by studying its behaviour during ICP plateau waves in patients with TBI. Twenty-nine recordings of CBFV made during ICP plateau waves were analysed. Both Mx and Fix at baseline and peak ICP were significantly different, although the magnitude of Fix change was slightly greater. The correlation between Fix and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) was stronger than that between Mx and CPP. Unlike in our previous study, plotting Fix against CPP revealed a peak value in the range of "optimal" CPP, as indicated by the Mx versus CPP plot. The findings suggest that during periods of reduced CPP caused by plateau waves, the dynamic behaviour of Fix is similar to that of a measure of cerebral autoregulation. This conclusion needs to be verified against similar results obtained during episodes of supranormal CPP. |
